I was just noticing the same thing yesterday when I suddenly had a slew of friend requests. This is great advice. Great post Wes and very timely!

I'm wondering if/when we'll need to specially address this on the EBW ning. Great post, Wesley - well timed, too. I’m wondering if/when we’ll need to specially address this on the EBW ning.

I have made it a habit to check out the profile of friend requests. There are a number I have rejected because of an apparent commercial agenda. Interestingly I have started experiencing this in podomatic. A new podcast set up the other day attracted a number of "friends" within a couple of days. A close look at their profiles led me to believe they were just people interested in building their own profile. Really good warning Wesley.

I applaud your caution. I always carefully look into all friend requests on ning and twitter and SL. It is just the responsible thing to do. Subscribing to Ning conversations with RSS keeps one up-to-date without needing to visit communities for this purpose. You know, I don't know how many friends I have on Ning. There are a bunch!

I just have a hard time splitting time between there and the regular run of blogs that I read. I do have the Nextgen Teachers and classroom 2.0 blog feeds coming down to my reader. And comment when appropriate. Just having a hard time to juggle everything else that I'm doing and adding that to the mix. Although there are great many conversations going on Ning.
