If I become your friend on Facebook, then I expect to receive updates about your life, about things you care about, even about your business. Even the occasional invitation to the page that promotes your business. But I certainly don't expect direct solicitation of any kind before we even know each other. If I join a page or group on Facebook then I do expect to receive news that is related to the topic, within reason. I have deleted myself from groups that send constant long messages. I just don't have the time to read messages that are not interesting, short, and to the point. As you can see I'm going through your blogs today.... with a cup of coffee no less! Jon Allan,

As the saying goes, there is a time and place for everything.

As you can see I’m going through your blogs today…. with a cup of coffee no less!

I'm beginning to not add people who can't use a real photograph, and who don't engage. People who can't see the value of transparency are the ones who are missing out.

Very true--when going through friend requests, I'm ready to give a hug to the first "real person" I see after a string of spammers. :-) Real interaction is valuable--I'm naturally interested in my friends' businesses, and inclined to subscribe to their newsletters & blog posts just because I value what they have to say.
