Stop asking me to be a “Fan” of you (who I hardly talk to), your hobbies (which I don’t share with you), or your small business (that I do no business with). I’m not a fan of your mundane life. I’m not even a fan of Vin Diesel, the most popular person on Facebook. Why would I care about your real estate dealings?
Not only do I not give a crap about being your “Fan” (whatever that means), your in-your-face tactics just make your numbers inauthentic, and therefore, meaningless. So basically, your actions are meaningless. Is that any way to go through life?
Instead of asking me to be your Fan, why don’t you just un-friend me? Then, we can have an authentic interaction. Thanks, Mark

I’ve had a similar reaction to inauthentic, meaningless followership – and automated and manual mechanisms for reciprocal followership – on Twitter … and posted a [longish] rant about the commoditization of Twitter followers.

Happy to discover that there are blog owners that worry about their blogs and not release all kind of useless stuff but rather try to keep it clean and worthy for the interest of their readers. You’ve done a great job and i thank you for that and also for not shocking me with inutile garbage and spam.Thank You
