John Reese caused quite a stir recently when he emailed his super-sized lists inviting his subscribers to become his friend on Facebook, and in just a few days reached Facebook’s self-imposed maximum of 5000 friends.

As a spin-off other Internet marketers on Facebook gained new friends, as people new to the site started using the Facebook tools to send out their own invites, and I got dozens of requests .

The whole thing has been an excellent example of how viral marketing works. Personally I’ve been on Facebook for around 6 months, after joining out of curiosity, and although I haven’t embraced it as passionately as some of my fellow Internet marketers I must admit that I find it fascinating at times and spend longer there than I should.

So here’s a little invite from me: if you’d like to become my Facebook friend you’ll find my page here.
