I recently had an issue with a new Facebook page. I created a new page to have for interacting with friends who may have interest in Melaleuca and its benefits for your home and home business. I have a website that deals with this, but if you’re not on Facebook, you’re missing out on so many social possibilities that it could hurt your business. After I created the page, Facebook asked me to invite friends to get the page started. One of the ways to do this was by importing an email address list. I had a good email address list from Gmail and decided to import it and invite folks on that list. That’s exactly what I did. In doing so, I come to find out later through friends who are on that list that some of them received that invite in their email anywhere from 6 to 12 times! That’s enough to make anybody not want to “like” my new page wouldn’t you think. I know if I received a bunch of emails like that, I’d certainly not follow through even if it was a friend. Alas, I picked up no new “likes” on the page from that email invite process. Gotta love it when a friendly process actually shoots you in the foot.
Anyway, after sorting through “known bug issues” on Facebook’s site and noodling through all the time-wasting topics that didn’t apply, I finally found an area where you can report Facebook bugs. You can go here and report your specific bug. Of course Facebook basically says in it’s disclaimer that they don’t get to answer all email and it’s likely they’ll never do anything about it, but at least you have done your part in reporting the issue as it is. Now I’m not one of those people who feels like I have a right to use Facebook and they have to provide me with everything I want. If you use a service like this, you should expect errors and issues like any other piece of software. So, if you are one of those people, get off your high horse and thank Facebook for helping you find all your old high school classmates.
