1. Take the time to
introduce yourself to me!!! Unless we already know each other via real life in person or have gotten to know one another a tad via other methods of online conversation like Twitter, or been friend
suggested, etc. Exceptions to the rule: Ok psychics and those tuned in to their intuitiveness are another story...we communicate on another level with one another ;-) so of course, sometimes typed words are just not needed.
2. Have an updated photo of
YOU so I can see your
FACE - let your personality shine! I also read faces, they tell me a lot. Oh and please have some clothes on! FACE-book, get it? Your pet photo is "OK" but I rather see YOU or you AND your pet together in the photo. Which reminds me, Facebook has a dogbook/catbook application where you can set up a FB page for your pets! Way cool!
3. Must love dogs...ok cats, horses, all other animals too. Look, I am a dog person, a intuitive dog coach, an animal communicator! YOU must KNOW this already if trying to friend me otherwise you DO NOT know me at all! Woof!
4. Be a genuinely nice open minded type person with a bodacious sense of humor!
5. Be the REAL YOU! Enough said, do not impersonate another person! Yes, I have encountered this and it does not please me one bit. I am also not fond of those that have a Facebook manager, WTH? Type your own damn updates already! Keep it real or stay out of my Chi bubble!
6. DO NOT friend spam my wall with the product you are selling (MLM, etc.) ugh - cause I know where the DELETE or REMOVE FROM FRIENDS button lives! Exceptions to this rule: I ask you to spam my wall with your cool link of info or I spam my own wall ...it happens.
7. My basic information relationship status states that I am married. I would like to figure out how to incorporate "happily to my BFF soulmate" in there. I want to make it clear that I am only looking for "social networking" and old/new "colleague similar business interest type friendships". I am not seeking a relationship in any other way.
8. DO NOT try to save me in a bibilical sense. I am a bit naughty & bitchy & I like it. Oh and sometimes - I curse like a pirate! So if this offends you....Peace. I am not changing anytime soon. I would hate to be afraid of what I write on my own DAMN WALL and whom it may offend thank you very much! Good grief! Oh yes, this too has occurred, WTH?!
9. It would be nice to include a highlighted website or blog link on your wall I can actually click on and view so if you forgot to intro yourself then at least I have something to refer to without having to spend time focusing on spirit energy in the cosmos to give me insight...that can be very draining and time consuming to an intuitive when I rather save that precious energy for serious consultation sessions where I actually get paid for my time.
10. Validate your Facebook intentions for wanting to be in my circle of friends. Ask yourself if we have anything in common. Ask yourself how would you approach me in public. Would you walk right up to my face and then just stand there and perhaps make a funny face waiting for me to respond? You can go do that on
Twitter
UPDATE April 2010: Facebook is ever growing and changing, like myself and the rest of the planet...sooooo....I have decided to keep my Facebook Personal Profile Page, just that, more "personal"- you know - just for my weird but groovy family and extended family and my real life kinda boring yet quirky and sometimes entertaining friends that never invite me for dinner (I usually invite myself) and a small handful of classmates from when I was 12 yrs old that were nice people then and appear to still be today as grown ups. With that being said -I now have a Facebook Business Page with no limitations of how many friends can join my page! I would like to invite you! So all you gotta do is click the LIKE button - you do not have to say hello but it would be nice! Hey make no judgements upon me cause even a Rabbi refused my Facebook friendship on his personal page. Yep, you heard that right. So do not be offended if you were on my personal facebook friends list and find that you no longer are. I still like you but I probably already follow you on Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and/or on your Facebook Business Page so it's all good! It was my personal Facebook Feng Shui of sorts to help me cleanse my connection Chi bubble.
Psssttt...read my Top 10 Twitter Tips they are much funnier.
