From the article: Getting Fans for Your Facebook Page
As home business ventures grow, I am seeing a trend where people market their business via their personal Facebook page rather than via a separate and dedicated business Facebook page. Do you think it is a breech in Facebook etiquette to solicit "friends" about a business without a proper invite (i.e. setting up a separate page and requesting they "like" the business)? Or do you think that your personal list of "friends" should be willing to receive whatever information you want to send out? Share Your Position
Sometimes Boring
- I think some times it is really boring to get same type of post again and again in my FB wall. Rather it is good to create a page and give there the regular update. Shumi http://transcriptionplace.com

Don't do it
- I am tired of seeing my friends jewelry business or photography business being solicited on my wall all day long. What I was hoping for when I "friended" them was updates about them - not their business.

"Friendly" marketing
- I feel it depends upon the business. At times I do feel it is tacky, contingent upon the business and the product, however, I have actually linked to some of the posts by friends and even purchased or used the product and/or service that I never would have known about had it not been placed right in front of me. In this rapidly changing information age, I suppose we all need to get used to the idea that information is going to be marketed to us in more and more alternative ways, even by our friends. I don't feel it is a breech in etiquette because you always have the option to "Hide" or "Delete" if you feel it is too imposing.
