As far as the "Facebook Badge" I don't have it. I have facebook and I have friends there, but I only use it once in a great while. Mostly for shock value. (long story)
As far as your site, its coming along quite nicely!
Keep up the good work, Allen

Hi Larry, I follow some blogs that have a facebook badge too, but I never knew why they had it. Like you, I assumed it was like an invitation.
I'm very knew to facebook too! But the other day, I did notice for my nicece, facebook had left an "automatic" comment on her wall that said "Denise did a friend request to So&SO and was denied."
I just thought that sounded so rude for facebook to publish that & a bunch of us left comments abut it.
I think my niece was embarrassed too, and I would've been to. After that, I haven't done any facebook friend requests unless I asked them another way first!
Glad to follow your blog, and like Allen said, it's coming along nicely! Let me know if I can ever help you. Just email me. John
I like your Blogroll and am adding your blog to mine now! Thanks!

I'm on Facebook but I'm hardly ever there, so I've never heard of a Facebook Badge. Is that like being Deputy Fife on The Andy Griffith Show? Do I get to carry a bullet in my pocket? I don't really "get" Facebook. I'd much rather blog.

Ah facebook. 9,000 useless quizzes, activities, etc.
I much prefer Mafia Wars on Myspace.
You'll not that on my blog I don't post any links to my MySpace or Facebook or LinkedIn profiles. I like it that way.

I'm back LOL, just wanted to say since I originally read this post, I made a facebook badge and put it my myspace. Of course, I DO want and encourage my myspace friends to connect on facebook. Myspace takes too long to load and I would love to use it less. I never will ditch it though, because I am such a big music fan. To me that's what it's all about. I don't accept any myspace apps, and I'm trying not get hooked on facebook apps LOL.
truthspew had it right...about 9,000 useless quizzes, activities, etc! I just ignore most of that & have about 25 "requests" right now for silly things like "drinks on me, pillow fights, smiles, box of chocolates, etc." You get the picture! I just avoid most of it.
I follow JoeMyGod too! He truly has one of the best gay blogs out there.

I've been wondering the same thing and hoped for an answer here, but it's still a mystery.

I've decided to add an FB Badge to Patently Queer. In my case, the badge in an invitation. I added a note under it to make it clear.
One potential problem. I have my FB public search restricted so that only friends and friends of friends can find me in search. I did this to maintain some privacy from clients and prospective clients who may decide to look me up. This setup may result in a blog reader not being able to find me in search.
