You may not fit into any of the stereotypes outlined in this article, but you’ll probably recognize more than a few “types” from your own friends—that is, unless you don’t add just anyone who claims they’re your friend! :-)
So… do you add just anyone?
If you’ve allowed someone to friend you, you might get checked in. That’s just how it is. You’re on a social network. That’s part of the deal.
I usually inform people I’m doing it. I’m not really asking, but I’ll certainly refrain if you speak up quickly (because I’m doing it… like now).
If you don’t want this activity, don’t allow it in your settings or work with your associates on the idea of asking you or not doing it. Don’t expect that someone should follow some code of “etiquette” or even understand (or respect) your wishes. It might not happen.
You are in control of your settings. That is all.

Is it just that Ben & Jerry’s (Unilever) “social” ad campaign on Facebook is on such heavy rotation that is just happens to appear here? My business partner Darren Rosenwinkel posted about the pitiful “news” that being overweight is the new “average” in America (which means you’ve already met your New Year’s resolution according to Jay Leno).
I know, I know. The only reason I’m even seeing this “ad” is because I clicked “Like” on Ben & Jerry’s. So, I guess I only have myself to blame for seeing Unilvever’s crack team of advertising gurus reminding me that some of my other Facebook friends like Ben & Jerry’s every other time I reload my News Feed.
Their strategy with all of this is really pretty simple:
A certain percentage of Facebook users will eventually get tired enough of reloading their Timeline and News Feed to waddle over to the freezer open a pint of Cherry Garcia, Red Velvet Cake, Crème Brulée or some other fantastically wonderful creation.
Not me! As great as it tastes, I haven’t had any Ben & Jerry’s ice cream since I got started on The Better Body System from Yoli a few short months ago. It’s not that I don’t like ice cream—it’s just that unhealthy cravings for things that don’t nourish my body are almost nonexistent for me. This is a new thing for me. In fact, for most of my life, all I can remember is craving things like ice cream, breads and cakes, and other “empty calorie” items that weren’t ever the food I needed.
Why? The Yoli Better Body System tastes great, satisfies my hunger, and it’s giving my body proper nutrition. I don’t feel hungry between meals and I have a lot more energy now, since my body is physically lighter than it’s been in a great many years. I’m also no longer running and crashing on “comfort food” all the time.
I still eat the foods I love, I just don’t overdo the ones that aren’t good for me now. As a result, I’ve lost weight, I’m actually saving money, and I feel great. I’m also making money by telling others about the success I’m having with Yoli.
Who do you know that wants to lose 7-15lbs in 7 days?
How would you like to drive a new BMW, Mercedes Benz or Cadillac and have Yoli make the payment for you each and every month?
I love that I can size up my friends by knowing what they’re reading about.
Excuse me Facebook, but huh?
Someone tagged me in one of those ridiculous infographic “photos” that anyone who has ten friends on Facebook has probably seen more than once. Usually, they don’t show up on my profile page, but this one did for some reason, so I hovered over the “x” to delete it and got this message.
