Facebook - Label My Food

I have an idea about promotion using Facebook:

1. Search on 'vegetarian' under Activities and then on Interests. These are people who have explicitly stated that they are vegetarian. Repeat this step for: muslim, sikh, hindu, buddhist, vegan, organic, etc.

2. Send a personalised message to everyone who comes up, inviting them to join the group. Bear in mind that searches are limited to your regional network, so there won't be that many (I had ten for 'vegetarian').

I don't think that this is spamming, but it might be bordering on it. Any thoughts?

Hmm. After a bit of experimentation, I have found that you can directly invite anyone to join a 'cause' but not a group. I think therefore I will create a Facebook cause, to make the whole process easier.

Well, the 'cause' idea is rubbish. Although it tells you that you can invite anyone else you like, it is a lie; you can only invite friends.

Oh, and for the record, 13 messages results in a spamming warning. We will see if it works or not, having sent out 13 messages to vegetarians in Bristol now.

I keep sending invites out to people who might be interested.

Great stuff. We need everyone to do the same and it might just spread
