Facebook: Ignore all = now an option
Written on January 30, 2008 – 11:55 pm
Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten,
If you came here from Digg it would be great if you could actually Digg us too! Do you have a start-up that we should write about? Contact us! Thanks for visiting and hope you come back again!

Facebook has just announced and launched a new feature in their Requests page. A simple “clear-all” option for when you have lots of requests waiting on your Requests page.
I don’t quite understand why they didn’t also add a “accept-all” link right next too it. And while you are at it also add a “Make this my standard action” link.
Most people I know simply accept everybody who invites them. It is easier than finding out who everybody is and less risky than ignoring or denying invitations.








The Next Web Blog is closely associated with The Next Web Conference which is held annually in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. At this event speakers from all over the world come together to talk about, and show of, the future of the Web. (

they should create a button to ignore all INVITATIONS. I can handle a couple of friend requests but its almost impossible to deal with all those apps invites..

I can’t believe anybody would want an accept all, let alone just accept all friend requests. Who wants to be friends on facebook with someone they don’t know. I hope whoever they are that they don’t put vital info on their profile.

Why cant I just accept them from some friends(close ones)
If you hae lets say 500 contacts then it is lot of “spam”.
