He wrote about the whole experience on his blog. the Facebook team.”Ĭomm has no access to his photos. In the meantime, we encourage you to review our terms of use ( ). The Facebook team has received your inquiries. He sent them an inquiry and he got an email on January 22 at 1:42 p.m. “I try to log in now and it says my account is disabled. I have 900 people waiting to hear from me wondering why I’m ignoring them,” he told me. “I don’t know, I stopped after they warned me.
“Why did they kick you off then?” I asked. When we were sending the messages we got a warning and we stopped,” Comm says. “So, why did they kick him off?” Because he triggered some sort of automatic alert that he was participating in spamming behavior. Fifty people have already joined a group to petition to have Joel added back to Facebook. He also has a group on Facebook, which has more than 2,000 members. You still can get to his fan page, but he can’t administer it any longer (he has 734 fans). “I am the invisible man.” Facebook did exactly the same thing to me a year ago. Nothing automatic.īut yesterday Facebook disabled his account and removed his account from the public social graph. Again, he customized each message to the person who was asking. What did the notes say? Something like “nice seeing you at XYZ conference, I can’t add you as a friend because Facebook doesn’t let me add more than 4,999 friends so could you please join me over on my fan page?” Sometimes also he’d send them over to his book page, or his Twitter page. He would look at each person’s profile and send them a nice note. So, since he can’t add them to his social graph he sends them an a nice individual note, customized each time. Here’s why: he has 900 people who want to be his friend on Facebook. Well, he like me, has 4,999 friends which is the maximum allowed by Facebook. Just like Facebook did to me just about a year ago. Translation: he’s not a “nobody” on the Internet who is a spammer.īut, Facebook had a problem with him and kicked him off. He also has “ Twitter Power,” a book about Twitter coming out next month. He was the guy who came up with iFart, which got to be the #1 iPhone app on the iTunes store for three weeks. He hosted and produced the first Internet reality show called the Next Internet Millionaire. He wrote the Adsense Code, which got onto New York Times best selling list. He’s been doing business online since 1995. OK, I’m on the phone with Joel Comm right now. You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried.
