Jimbo having trouble with Facebook Options

Poor Jimbo and his Facebook page for "JimmyWalesFans".

How did I possibly miss this page since September 8, 2008?

Oh, I see that Jimbo unfriended you, Greg. I remember that you were friends with him before I was. I've just asked Sue Gardner if she wants to be friends too!

Well, he's doing better than Lyndon LaRouche at least.

The avatar labeled "Jimmy Wales" on that "wall" is actually an indeterminate entity speaking in the voice of the fan-page itself, and is not necessarily Jimbo.

Anyone with administrator rights of a facebook fan-page has the ability to post "as the page" rather than as oneself. The posts below that one appear to be forwarded from Jimbo's account on some other social gnetwerking site.

Jimbo's personal facebook page can be found here and uses a different photo. But if you look down the membership list you'll see he is listed as a fan of himself, and very well may have admin status on that fan-page.

I think this one is cuter.

Even when signed out of Facebook, using a different browser? How do it know? Anybody else see that CharlotteWebb's link works? If so, are you a "friend" of the page?

I can get on that page, yes. However, when you block somebody on Facebook, it IS as if you don't exist for that person. It's pretty radical actually...

So, I guess Jimbo has it set that only existing friends can see the page? How would he ever get new friends on that page? I guess he could reach out and add them himself.

Imagine that -- a circle of friends populated only by people you have deemed from the outset of being friend-worthy.

Nope, you've got it backwards. I think that at some point Jimbo defriended you....and probably blocked you in the process. When you do that, the person blocked can't see the page...but pretty much anybody else can...
