So now I have two facebook pages, which I recommend to anyone trying to maintain that duality, unless of course such a thing is some sort of TOS violation with Facebook, at which point I want to make clear that I am, of course, just joking about that whole "two Facebook page" thing.

But the point you make is a good one — Facebook should allow for some sort of differentiation among friends, something that was probably not necessary when the Facebook universe was all college students.

That said, I'm not really using it well yet, but I can already see agents (on my Friends list) doing smart things with it.

I do not accept friends for the 'just because' reason, I have no idea who they are. Friends are friends.

Business has come from facebook, but it has come in the way of reconnecting with friends. I keep in touch with them and still let them know that I am here. Occasionally I will plug my listings in the classifieds but no apps, people just don't use the real estate related ones.

I don't accept my kids friends too many…well you know parties.

Most of the folks I friend are from Re/MAX, AR or KW that want to be friends.

Recently someone started a group of people I knew in college. That has been fun to connect with people I have not been in touch with for years.

On my Birthday, which was a few days ago, I had so many Birthday wishes I just could not keep up thanking folks.

A guy in my office just wrote and offer site unseen on a home here in Ann Arbor, some of his past clients had moved out of country, found him, saw noticed how low the prices had dropped, and had him write up a contract.

So far this is my experience with it. I did get calls on some of the condo's or homes I was listing from younger people, but no one in higher price ranges and haven't put my listings on it a long time.

I tried to sign up for Meezoog, but you have to have an invite.

Over the past weekend, I "trimmed the fat" off of my Facebook friends and deleted about 25 "friends" who weren't really friends. As a Realtor, I've been using FB to stay in touch with former clients moreso than anything else. I do use FB as a "fly on the wall" application to see what my "friends" are postings, their pictures, and their stati. </p> Great post Marc.
