What Not to Do on Facebook

The Oatmeal had a funny little list of the different kinds of people that annoy the hell out of everyone else on Facebook, so I thought it would be a good list to point out.  If you are into Internet Marketing then you need to pay special attention to "The Desperate Marketer" who spams the hell out of all of their friends to join their fan pages and what not.  Trust me, if I hardly know you to begin with and as soon as we are friends on Facebook you start bombarding me with this crap, you will be defriended immediately.

Of course, you should probably avoid any "Horrible Photo Taggers" if you want to land a job or maintain any respect in a professional capacity.  There have been a few untimely snapshots taken of me in a less than sober state, and not only do I untag myself but kindly ask my "friend" to refrain from embarrassing me in the future (to which the common reply is, "quit embarrassing yourself."  Touché).

Personally, when someone goes crazy inviting me to play games, I just block the application.  I haven't gotten into any of them and can't see how bugging the shit out of your friends should reward you in any shape or form.

If you have any other words of wisdom on what not to do on Facebook, let me hear about them.
