Folks, right now you can, at most, suggest up to 40 friends. However, expect the 'Suggest' feature to be phased out shortly.

'Suggest' feature is getting phased out. Expect more surprises soon.

Some time ago I started a website in a very micro niche environment. I modeled it after another website (although still different). From there the page blew up. At first I wasn't getting very good conversions with only a few hundred. But then, after some advicement, I learned how to harness that...

I would be very very careful working big fan pages. I used to work at Facebook and can tell you that they monitor larger fan pages to much closer detail than a page with 10,000 fans on it.

It is going to get alot worse. Expect many more lawsuits and ban hammers. I've said this for months now, Facebook remembers you. They know all your IPs. Be very very careful. I would recommend a foreign IP address as many in the U.S. are getting filtered too quickly. Facebook is basically...

As some of you know, I had a working relationship with Facebook while living in Mountain View, California to analyze click behavior of some of its users. Obviously, I am not involved with them anymore. There is alot happening behind-the-scenes that not many know about. I will not go into great...

I don't deal with PVAs just because they aren't that much better and just get rid of the captcher. I heard it works, and with Facebook its one per number, as I understand it.

I used to work at Facebook and can tell you that most of the spam prevention systems relies on whether or not you know the person you're friending. The thing is people on Facebook are very into privacy and they do not want anyone into their lives. I have worked on studies which figures how many...

I would advice against it. Facebook does not want you to monetize on their platform. I will almost bet that you will lose publishing rights.

I have told people this in the past, phone verified accounts aren't much better than non-phone verified phones. If you are using the same credit card over and over, Facebook has it on record and won't let you use it. You'll have to clear your cookies, get a new credit card with a new name and...

Having worked at Facebook, I can tell you that Facebook heavily relies on its users. If you are spamming or do anything people don't like you'll get reported and Facebook will block your posts. If you are severe enough they will go to your IP. My advice is to move on because Facebook is going to...

They sued a kid for registering facebookeconomy. Or at least sent him a C&D and threatened him. Doesn't matter if they're right (which they are) or wrong, litigation is very expensive and if you don't have the money to defend it--you are more likely to lose.

No, it does not necessarily mean your IP is banned or blocked. You have to do a great deal of abuse to get a IP on Facebook's shitlist. The message you were attempting to send probably contained a link, and that link was repeatedly reported as abusive or spammy Source: Former Facebook worker

It is different now but when I was working at Facebook it was 40 per hour per day.

I most certainly agree its a PR stunt. It is like companies that say they "raised" money for charities but never actually hear "given" to charities. I used to work at Facebook and can tell you that Facebook does sell information to advertisers. There is an entire department devoted to inside...
