The Decider has become The Poker. George W. Bush is officially on Facebook, where he’s now updating fans on his latest post-presidential blunders. We can’t wait to see how he fallows Farmville, makes up words in Scrabble and posts inappropriate comments on Angela Merkel’s wall.

No doubt his Facebook presence will spur the development of a “dislike” button.  —PZS

AFP via Google:

David Sherzer, a Bush spokesman, told AFP “a Facebook fan page is the ideal forum on which to keep people up to date on what the former president is doing.”

“Our office hears from citizens all the time: ‘How’s President Bush? What’s he up to? Please tell him thank you for his service,’” Sherzer said.

Who gives a rat’s ass what this idiot is doing?  He should be in jail as far as I’m concerned.

Howdy,

Facebook is center around friends that you can contact at will and discuss situations. My experience with it is that its no differ than any other social

marketing concept…find friends.. and request more friends.

I wrote a article on my blog about the friend gathering process that most people use to gain more friends on facebook. I must say that blog got a lot of

attention by thousands of curious people who wanted to know how they can gain more friends fro face book without the spamming.

It was my goal to show people that it doesn’t matter if you got 100 facebook friends or the limit of 5,000…if no one knows who you really are, than doing

friend request is just a waste of time.

You must concentrate on branding yourself before doing face book friend invites.

Thanks for letting me post my crazy thoughts..

Irony alert. There’s a typo in the above statement.
