Facebook Friday No More…

Kristen (Admin) — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 11:00:20 +0000

I’ve decided (at least for now) to stop doing Facebook Friday. I’ve really enjoyed doing it but participation has dwindled since the beginning. I appreciate those of you who linked up…and I hope you will be able to find other places to link up. I big puffy heart you. This isn’t a decision that I take lightly (and I’ve been debating it for some time). I’m taking stock of various things in my life and preparing to move forward in the new year. I’m coming up with a plan and putting it into action. I hope you’re not too disappointed…and I look forward to seeing more of you (and maybe a new meme) in 2011.

***If you do not follow directions I will delete you. Period. I will not change your link for you, I will delete it. Plain and simple. Follow the directions below or be deleted.***

“Facebook Friday” is similar to a “Follow Friday” or other memes you may have heard about where people follow you and you follow other people. With a catch.

If you don’t actually like the page (or blog associated with it)…don’t click “like”.

The one thing I don’t like about those “Friday Follows” and things of that nature is that you feel obligated to follow someone who follows you. Sure, you may find a few blogs you may have not otherwise have found and genuinely want to follow them. Then comes the guilt. So-and-so followed me…so I’m obligated to follow them back. Then heaven forbid you stop following-well…they are going to do it too! Don’t get me wrong-I’ve participated in a few of those in my time (and found blogs I really enjoyed!) and there’s nothing wrong with that-if that’s what you want to do. I personally want people to follow me because they genuinely like my blog and want to interact with me.

Here’s how it works:

If you want to participate you’re going to link up below. Link up to your fanpage-not your blog. If you want 5,000 friends and would rather have people “friend” you on facebook you’re welcome to do that as well. If you’d rather have more followers on your “networked blogs” page…link that up! This meme is all about the facebook love. The only thing I ask in return is that you place my button (below) on your blog. If you don’t like my cute little button you can just add a little blippet at the bottom of your post (something to the effect of “I’m participating in facebook friday at MamaBytes”). I’ve seen plenty of people who don’t want to clutter things up with buttons but show a gal some love somehow! It can be in your post today, on your sidebar…whatever. I’d like for anyone who needs more “fans” to be able to get them. If you really love me tweet this post out and let your friends on twitter know as well.

Now that the technical stuff is out of the way let’s get on with the show. Remember…only “like” blogs you actually like…or want to get to know better. No “liking” back is required…and thus no guilt. If you want to “like” someone back in return feel free-but it’s not required.

Facebook Friday 17-The final frontier?

OK, participation this time will determine whether or not I continue to do this. I still love the concept but if it’s not working-well, it’s just not working.

Link up with your picture, your blog button-whatever! Just keep it clean!
