Social media ethics – my personal view
You see, I do not know how about you, but I am allergic to traditional PR. I simply think I do not want to be convinced to join a page, at least not this way. Additionally, I have a very, very bad habit of not raging against the flow which results in stubborn, very often the foolish reaction of ignoring the source of that type of encouragement – I say foolish, as I tend to me so emotional, I do not check the content of the site. Simple move on. But am I right? How do you feel if your social network send you a reminder saying ‘you have not visited this site for a while, what are you up to?’ What does the term ‘in your face promotion’ mean to you? Do let me know, I feel old-fashioned and over sensitive sometimes. So far I did not come across good argument against my approach so as long as it’s not challenged, I will keep on ignoring, keep on not joining, keep on moving on.

Thing is I am happy to be “advertised to” if it is relevant and unobtrusive but I am less and less willing to be shouted at about crap I don't want!

Very valid point! If it were a box of chocolates I would probably skip the fan page and not post about it. In this case I felt a bit upset. Maybe if the page does not open on this site, and competition is positioned as a welcome present, I would like the idea better…not sure…It will work for many users, though, I bet!Thank you for stepping by!
