Michael Hyatt has recently posted a great post about his thoughts on Facebook and how he’s redoing his strategy. It’s well worth a read and I think he’s on to something smart.
I’m not a big user of Facebook personally and although I’ve considered shutting it down more than a few times the long-term value stays my hand from the “terminate and destroy” button. Ultimately the network is so big and so vast I’d castrate myself digitally in terms of reaching the many.
So, I’ll keep it, but with Michael’s thoughts (which are great… didn’t I say that already?) I’m going to revisit it and make a serious effort.
Thanks Michael for taking the time to blog about it and take a new perspective. It may even bring some people back from the “dead”.

speaking of castration….I went a little crazy for a while, and thought that Facebook should be where my real friends are…So I deleted several hundred old "friends." Big mistake.

Thanks, John. I am now loving Facebook again. I think this is how it was intended to be used. It has suddenly become relevant for me.
Thanks for the shout out!
