I was entering some of the crazy blog contests that require you to like upteen hundred pages for entries and after a while I would click the like button, it would show that I liked it, then a few seconds later, change back. After doing some searching on the internet, it appears that you can only have a combined total of 5000 friends and page likes. I tested it by unlike-ing a page, and was able to like another page. So, it now appears that I am going to have to do a major clean-up on fb and unlike a bunch of pages. Does anyone how a quick way to do this? It will take forever to do it one by one.
Now I feel the need to rant: I really hate facebook, but it seems all companies are starting to use them for sweeps. It used to be only smaller contests, but now a lot of the contests with huge prizes are using fb for their contest platform. It isn't that I mind entering through fb so much as it gives them way to much power. A while back they decided that for some reason my account was not legit (I have seen this happen to many sweepers) and locked me out of my account for several days. There were a lot of contests that I could not enter because of this. At anytime, for no reason, they can disable anyone's account and basically void all your entries in many sweeps. And now because all of these sites that require you to like them to enter, and fb's like limit, I am going to have to spend hours maintaining my account. I really wish fb would go away like myspace and the others did in the past, but it would be replaced by the latest, greatest, annoying social media.
