Thanks Tom…. Gmail rules did the trick for me. It’s crazy how long I put up with all those emails when it was a pretty easy fix.

I have ALL the email notifications in facebook turned off… so I don’t any emails from facebook. I just can’t stand all of the messages inside full of spam… =(

Another quick thing to mention is if you set up a Gmail filter to create a Facebook “folder”, remove “to the members of” and skip the InBox when you check your email using the native iPhone mail app you have to go to the new Facebook folder to see those messages. I know that makes sense because it’s what I set up but just a reminder to check there too…

Yes I get booking offers through MySpace & Facebook so that alone will keep me checking and organizing on those sites.

Well there’s two sides to that… if you start over you will loose a lot of people but the people who you keep are most likely the important ones. That said I don’t think I would do it. I’d try some garden weeding first.

I totally agree, but for some reason I get more contacts through Facebook or Myspace as far as booking and remix requests. I think people feel its less formal that way…

Oh, I agree with you 100%… It’s just an option, that has pros and cons as any other.
I think official contacts for remixes or shows or similar stuff are probably better left to good old email rather than relying on facebook/myspace messages. But yea, basically, it sucks having to deal with spam and unwanted messages in any way. :)
