As with any social network a pattern has emerged for me on Facebook.
The people closest to me, send the least application requests – and when they do, they’re pretty relevant and either useful or entertaining.
The people right on the very fringes on my network are the ones most likely to have sent me 20 pointless applications requests one after the other, meaning I’m going to delete all without even paying much attention.
At a time when I’m finding ways for a major company to choose quality over quantity for relevant communication, it’s ironic individuals, and in some cases, the users of that company’s products, are so prone to spamming without seemingly realising.
