Its been a while that I’ve been able to post my thoughts or updated this blog. Why? Blame the Internet Providers. Its been a month that I have applied for a broadband connection in Malad, Mumbai but Internet Providers in Malad seem to hate me and aren’t providing me a connection.

I am running out of choice and am gonna get connected by hook or crook in the coming weeks…

See you guys ASAP!

For a while Facebook has been outgrowing various Social Networks and since they released their API’s to developers they have grown leaps and bounds. I’ve enjoyed Facebook and I did think Facebook might be even able to topple Orkut in India, until I recently I read that Harry Joiner, our very own Marketing Headhunter was blocked on Facebook for uploading his Address Book!

Yes, you heard me right! Facebook has sent him a mail stating that their decision was final! But why?

I am still trying to understand if there are limits set as to an XYZ person can only have 100 friends then it must be conveyed / warned in advance. For a person like Harry, who has 4300 contacts should only benefit Facebook rather than hurt them. I also remember doing the very same on LinkedIn recently with ease.

If they thought that a user was a spammer then they should have confirmed the same before they can take action against a user. Really Insane!

As predicted, the entire Recruiting Community is now with Harry against “Facebook’s War On Recruiters”. Let me know your thoughts on this insane act!
