Since Facebook threads are all the rage these days...

quote:

According to my closely connected sources, Facebook will be announcing an online music service May 21st. I had thought of utilizing Facebook’s API to add a music feature but that won’t be necessary. Facebook is also lining up various undisclosed partners prior to their launch. I’m amazed that it took them this long, but this will be huge. Myspace music has already been a huge success launching bands such as the Arctic Monkeys into stardom. Now with the growing popularity of Facebook and the college heavy demographics of the site, this could prove to be a massive entry into the music market. Also, given Facebook’s tendency to perfect each of the features on their site (their photo sharing service has become one of the biggest on the net) this will most likely be a pretty slick feature. I haven’t been able to get a Facebook representative to comment on this, but maybe Mike Arrington can do a little digging and give us the full scoop. After doing a little Google Trends research I’ve come up with a pretty interesting graph. It looks like now would be a great time for Facebook to release a music product given the popularity of the search phrase “facebook music”. To be honest, I’m amazed that it has taken Facebook this long to launch a MySpace music competitor, but when it does launch I’m sure it will be a killer web app. I’m still waiting on a more connected blogger or journalist to give us more details. More to come!

then just delete that promoter off your list.. facebook has great security to prevent massive spamming, plus it doesn't allow you to use coding. maybe event invites will increase.. but definately not advertising and spamming.

some promoters, if not all are actual friends
i'm not going to delete them off my list just because they send me events

invite for groups = annoying
invites for events = spam/annoying

If they're your friends, why don't you tell them not to send you invites for every event?

On topic: this may be when I stop using Facebook.

because they have 700+ friends and they mass send to everyone on the list.

Ya...if they ever ask for suggestions for the next update, I'm going to suggest putting in an invite blocker - like saying "don't accept invites from certain people" and clicking on certain ppls names that you get lots of invites from
