But I’d re-frame it and ask

“What is the value you can add by becoming someone’s friend?”

If you go in with this attitude, your ROI will skyrocket.

I can see from your activity that you “get it”.. As long as we seek to help others, we’ll be the kind of freinds that attract greatness.

See you on FB

Yeah, I know what you mean about groups — people keep making me officers of stuff which is fun… I meant are you not getting any group noticies at all (like such and such friend joined a new group), or just not getting notices when people reply to your discussion threads in forums?

I might be getting more notifications because I fiddled with my notifications in my account settings. I also set my news feed preferences options to show me more stories about groups. There’s one other thing I changed that made a difference that I can’t recall off the top of my head.

Thanks for the comment on the design. I still want a custom header, to make the site load a little faster and maybe put both columns on the right. But yes, this looks like the final cut at least for the next year or so.

Forums have discussion threads

Who knows maybe I just haven’t had any replies in the threads I replied in to receive a notification of some kind – I didn’t take part in too many because I was worried about not being able to follow them.

However I did comment on a video in a private group we are both a member of earlier, and I didn’t get any notification of the reply that was posted.

p.s. I like the new look, is this the final one?

My biggest problem with Facebook is the amount of clicks it takes to monitor any conversations you participate in. It is almost as if it is designed for flyby commenting.
