Social networking, marketing, or whatever you want to call it; I have a problem. It seems that before I realized it, I have hit the 5,000 friend limit on Facebook. I have now set-up a fan page, which is the direction I should have taken up front had I known. To celebrate my new fan page, and to get you to head over and "LIKE" it, I will be giving some stuff away.
