“Bob Smith’s Painting Co” Wants To Be My Friend on FB”

So. Dude.

I’m super not friending Bob Smith Painting Company (as a user profile).  I might not even “like” your company as a business page (maybe) but I’m definitely NOT a friend of your profile which is not your actual personal profile.  So, please don’t do that (Y’all).

I’m sure (and you probably are too) that poor Bob just doesn’t “get it” just yet.  He’s new to facebook and just doesn’t understand the way to approach things. But, for goodness sake, Bob!  Take a look at what you are doing before you hurt your business.

That’s right.  We’ve reached a time when committing these kinds of social mis-steps online is as bad as doing it in real life (really worse because it’s so amplified). Bob just did something that is the equivalent of shaking my hand just after sneezing in my presence

A similar faux pas would be you and your wife (and maybe your kids) sharing a profile — and then friending business contacts.  Not a great plan, yo?

Oh, and on a similar note, I’m definitely not friending a logo either! (thanks @Ribeezie )

Thanks for endulging my little rant.

What say u???
