I have to admit that i did a stupid thing:

A few months ago i joined facebook; it has a function "search friends". It asks your email account and password, so that it connects with my gmail address book, and find all my friends on facebook.

I thought facebook is a reliable company, so i did it. That's where this story begains.

What facebook did is that they sent all the people who is on my Gmail contact list a "Friend Request" email.

It does not stop there, facebook sents this email to my email contacts EVERY month!

Reminder: (my name) invited you to join Facebook...


This is suppose to be in the inbox of my contacts, because some contacts are myself (i own a few email accounts for work and life), so i know what my other contacts are saying

I guess some of them must be guessing, "ohha, this guy must be so desperate to ask me to accept him as a friend...otherwise why send me friend request every month?"

I just hate to see this going on and on. So i spent the last two hours finding a solution.

What you do is to click on Friends, then Invite Friends, then View All Friends Invites, there you delete all contacts!

I hope this helps! Below is a video i created to show you how to do it, if i am not making myself understood.

BTW, i hate facebook on this part because the only reason facebook are sending these emails endlessly is that they want more users, and i am a victim of their busiessn adventure.

No wonder we ARE FANS. I am not the Lone Ranger. We are a works in progress. The errors we make can help others. This is what Life is about growing, sharing, loving. I have made many tech errors all over the place. I am making progress. For me facebook is not an easy social network to work. That is my experience. I get a bit overwhelmed on facebook, your hub will help me. Thank You. Hubpages is a much easier social site. Merry Christmas. Keep in touch.
