One of my favorite places to hang out on the web is Facebook. I’ve met a lot of really neat people there from around the world: folks who’ve read my books, other writers, fans of Beachbody’s fitness programs like P90X and ChaLEAN Extreme, book and Amazon Kindle lovers, and many, many more. I’ve learned a lot and made some good friends: it’s been, and continues to be, a great experience.
Recently, it dawned on me that I was pushing fast toward the limit of friends you can have on your personal page: 5,000 people! Holy cow! It sort of came as a shock, because I remember very vividly when I was “young” on Facebook and only had a few friends, seeing someone who had around 3,000 friends and wondering how the heck he did that – it seemed like such an unbelievable number.
Now, are all those people really my close friends? Of course not, at least not in the conventional sense. They’re more like contacts or connections from which friendships or otherwise beneficial relationships can spring up.
But that brings me to the real point of this post: since Facebook won’t allow me any more than 5,000 contacts, I’ve set up a page (technically a “fan page”) that will support more contacts with people like yourself. So come and join me on Facebook and let’s see what kind of relationship we can build together!
