Good point Cathy. I read on someone's blog (sorry I can't source it) that you need to question someone's intent if they list 400 friends and that they are in 200 groups. The point was something to do with receiving ad $$$. Sorry again, can't remember the exact story. In any case it encouraged me to decline a friend request that fit those exact criteria.<br />

This is a good lesson on looking at the profiles before accepting friends. I have gotten to where I check their subscribed networks and the number of friends they have. if they have an exorbitant number of friends and a lot of networks, especially non education related ones, I'm apt to decline. If you have not already, you may want to go through your "friends" and see just what kind of networks they belong to (and how many friends they have.) You may decide to "unfriend" a few...

I have been receiving several messages similar to that one. As a matter of fact, I accidentally accepted one and had to delete her. Now, I am careful about checking profiles... what was annoying was that it said after reading your profile several times I decided to email you. Therefore, I deleted some personal info. from my profile because I feared the wrong people might learn too much about me.

Yup...I got the same e-mail. Sounded innocent enough, but it turns out to be one of those 'my dad died and left me a billion dollars that I have to transfer out of the country somehow, if you could just help out...' scams. A little more clever then some of the other ones, coming in through a legitimate site...

That will put an interesting twist on the whole "friends" thing. I'm kind of thinking it will be good. If I want to communicate with someone who is not my friend, I will then need to post a wall comment to get their attention.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, I know as the administrator that there are times when I'd want to send a message even though I'm not someone's friend--for example, when warning them that I'm going to delete someone from the network if the keep sending commercial messages.<br />

Hey All!<br />
<br />
That is spam and we (Ning here!) are dedicated to eliminating it. Specifically, we will be implementing new privacy controls next Friday which will only enable folks who you are friends with to message you. Moreover, someone will need to be a member of Classroom 2.0 - or any network that you're on - to request to be your friend.<br />
