Facebook works as a 3D business card for me. I use it purely for networking for my books and to snoop into peoples lives at times. As long as you dont' get sucked into doing the quizzes or playing with the applications then it's a great way to get your books out there. I do think at times the world has gone a bit mad with Twitter and Facebook and all the social networking but when you have books to sell it can help. xxJosephine Tale Peddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431330956687490112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-20219248455978209452009-01-08T04:03:00.000+00:002009-01-08T04:03:00.000+00:00Hi there, I came via Le@third on the Right and a f...Hi there, I came via Le@third on the Right and a few others...<BR/><BR/>have been having a good read too. <BR/><BR/>I like your facebook post - I personally have only a few friends, and notice the large amounts on others... but its fun to look for people, I found my long lost sister and BIL, but when I contacted them, he deleted his facebook - a hint maybe?????

Anyone can cobble together 1000 people they don't know, but it takes extreme self-control to limit it to 22. You wait, people will be gagging to join your exclusive little band.
