Liz Strauss Facebook Spambot

This morning I was presently surprised to see a invite from "Social Media Expert" - Liz Strauss to be friends on Facebook. Cool.. I never met Liz and I dunno what she does but I have heard the name so to have her initiate contact with me to be friends on Facebook seemed pretty cool. Then without message or anything 8 hours later I get a invite to be a fan of Liz Strauss. Hmm whats next more unsolicited invitations? I have seen these bots around Facebook used by some pretty savvy marketers but I gotta be honest I don't think its smart. It rubs me the wrong way. Maybe its just because I am hip to it? Its like you invite me to lunch only to then solicit me. Just pisses me off. Maybe I am just being a bitcher.... I actually remember finding a article she had written on the difference between being a self promoter and a shameless self promoter in which she says:

The shameless part is the total disregard for others. In other words, Shameless Self-Promoters see only the game — not the relationship or the other person’s needs.

Hmm pot, kettle, black, ninja.
