I’ve been using Facebook for over a  year now, and I like it better than any of the other social networks out there, including Twitter (micro-blog) and the Ning sites. I especially like it over MySpace.

What I don’t like about it, however, is that the site seems to be ultra sensitive. I’ve had friends deactivated from it for that reason. See Mike Morrell’s recent post about this. It’s quite informative. (By the way, if you don’t know who Mike is, he’s a marketing genius. You’ll find his endorsement on the well-known book, The Shack).

Facebook only allows 5,000 friends.

When I hit 5,000 earlier this year, I made the decision that I would NOT create a fan page. (This is what many people do when they surpass the 5,000 friend mark.)

As Jerry Seinfeld once said, “I choose not to run!” Well, I choose not to create a fan page (in Seinfeld voice).

I’m not moving from that decision. So if you want to add me as a friend or suggest a friend to me (I have 132 such requests at the moment), you can join the FROM ETERNITY TO HERE group page that a reader created and connect with me that way. Updates and reports go out to each member of that page about once every two months.

Also, if you’re recommending friends to me, please refer them to the group page as there is no limit to the members that can join. Here’s the group page:

Just join the group and invite your friends by clicking the “Invite People to Join” link at the left-hand top.

Thanks,
