Normal friend requests are great. I’m proud to have over 700 Facebook friends! But, when we receive friend requests from a “celebrity, band or business” it means they setup their account incorrectly. They are in danger of having their account revoked because it is a violation of the FB terms of service. It would be a shame for a business to make connections and then have their account and contacts shut down.

This article is not to create fear, just to warn and inform on the proper way to do business on Facebook.
Businesses are supposed to use Facebook “Pages” and not setup the standard personal account. Benefits to having a Page including visitor statistics and the ability to use Facebook advertisements. There is also the benefit of not having their account revoked.  ~:-)

If you have a standard Facebook account for your business I recommend that you create a page ASAP.
You can do so @ http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

If you are Facebook Friends with any businesses I request that you to send them to this article.

God Bless,
Oscar Myre IV
