The last thing I need is a dressing room photo of me modeling Diesel brand fat pants hitting the public News Feed on Facebook. While it's obviously not as public as a social network, it seems that the mindset is, “I trust their opinions, I'll ask them a question.&# How Much Friendship Do We Need?

We easily forget that Facebook was one of the first social networks that insisted that we use REAL names, and policed personal profiles accordingly. Recall that MySpace was the logical heir to the online profile/social network world pioneered by Geocities, Tripod, and Angelfire. Facebook is the Model T of social networks.

Here’s what they’re doing right: Engage, Don’t Sell ThinkGeek has separated their Twitter messaging into TWO feeds – one designed to sell stuff (which is hilariously called @thinkgeekspam and posts updates about products and promotions) and one which posts all sorts of geek trivia and responses to fan questions and comments, called @thinkgeek.

I can’t even read all the blog feeds I get, let alone comment on 10 percent of the blogs. So while incredibly useful, it’s usefulness isn’t obvious, because it’s not exactly a conversation, nor does it work primarily like a megaphone.

Twitter’s role as a conduit for the Zeitgeist is unrivaled, and it has almost single-handedly ushered in the era of real-time search, and social CRM. I think point 5 is a great one, and applies to many social networks – the more 'friends' you have, the more unmanageable it becomes. I love Twitter.

Meanwhile, however, I do very much like Facebook Lite , which strips down a lot of the shiny distractions, and gives you a threaded News Feed, birthdays, and events – and that’s about it. Use WWSGD to include a little message before or after each of your posts, asking readers to subscribe to your RSS feed (or buy you a drink).

I believe Kurrently has the potential to make Facebook a much larger player in the social CRM world, as companies can now instantly see just how much they are being mentioned on that platform. What neither of them seems to have is an RSS feed for results, which would be the Holy Grail of Facebook open-graph API monitoring.
