Keep an eye on the ones who seem to have thought about what they are doing. We're moving to permission based contextual information sharing. Even I'm not sure what that means but I'm keen to take baby steps when I know what doesn't work. Plenty of folk out there who can do that for me. Hola from Shanghai Asi :) My strategy for anyone asking to be on FB is sit and watch the greedy folk make mistakes. Keep an eye on the ones who seem to have thought about what they are doing. We’re moving to permission based contextual information sharing. Even I’m not sure what that means but I’m keen to take baby steps when I know what doesn’t work.

But your rules are good because as a user I did think quite hard about how I wanted the ad to look and appear and what the message was about. I agree about the annoying aspect of apps. I would quite like to see the funny snowman my daughter has created for me but don't want to add the app - I suppose I could add, look and delete immediately. I think the worst aspect is the way the apps always flash up a page with everyone's name highlighted and the suggested to send an invitation to everyone with just a click. I always skip that page or consider who might be interested. But I bet loads of people don't.

I think you are starting to flesh out how I feel but in a more considered and helpful way. Your 4 golden rules are very good too. Asi, Top stuff.
