  • ZeRux, on 10/10/2007, -6/+5Dugg for future reference. I don't use Facebook, but if that changes one day, reading this article might be very valuable.
  • TERMDEFINED, on 10/10/2007, -14/+1my website www.ConspiracyFactualists.com might benefit from this advice.
    • sexybobo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Weird this is the second spammer i blocked to day and i haven't seen any in several months before hand.
  • Darren07, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Or: Seven Steps to completely lose your privacy.
  • orangysb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8while being informative this article sounds more like facebook for dummies rather than graphing strategies

  • DenRoedeBaron, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3Don't bother reading this article unless you are completely new to facebook. Am I the only one that is getting annoyed with the fact that every other Techcrunch article is about facebook?
  • Duncan3, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1So do we "win" Web 2.0 when all humans sit at a computer all day networking with each other instead of working or socializing outside in the real world?

    Lame shut-in hermit FTW! 2.0!!!
  • MisterSam, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Marked as obvious. Anyone who has used facebook for longer than a few days probably already knows all this. The thing about facebook is that it's so easy to use that guides like this are not needed.

    This should be retitled: Using Facebook for people who smoke pipes, wear tweed jackets, use a zimmer frame or remember the great war.
  • directsun, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Step 1: Don't post a picture of this guy
  • IHaveIssues, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6"it’s impossible to ignore the growing size and scope of Facebook"
    It's very possible - I'm doing it right now. Get out and play. Talk to real people. Go to a pub and don't come home and poke everyone.
  • negativefx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2"Seven steps to writing a pointless article"
  • morganm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Another great use of 'graphing' instead of a more appropriate word like 'approaching' or 'planning'. Everyone thinks you're smart now, Mr. Scientist!
  • HerrEisenheim, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I can't wait for something to come along and blow Facebook out of the water.
  • lysdexia, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4People have a *strategy* for Facebook?

    :: giggling with embarrassment for them ::
  • sstidman, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Am I supposed to have a Facebook strategy?

    I don't even have a Facebook account. Nor do I plan to.
  • derder89, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3FACEBOOK: SERIOUS BUSINESS
    • m3mn0n, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1When it makes you thousands of dollars, it is.

      I guess if you're just a Facebook user or not really a business/web developer type then you wouldn't really appreciate this article.
      • IHaveIssues, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1How are you making thousands of dollars off of Facebook?
  • nonokiaboy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I was more concerned when my employers assistant found me on Facebook. Do you "friend" a worker? It would of started bleeding over into both work and friend social circles. Needless to say, I felt the urge to cancel my account.

    Try canceling a facebook account. Pretty hard. Sure you can disable it. But you have to send an email to someone somewhere to ask for your account to be physically removed if you no longer wish to share every living detail about yourself.

    Oh, and don't get me started about "applications"

    /end rant.
