Facebook Friendship

[mackenzie]

On Facebook today, a friend (both in the Facebook and traditional sense of the word) was lamenting the practice of sending a Facebook friendship request to someone they've barely met

Huh. I never thought of it that way. Thank you for enlightening me on the thought process of the other side of the coin!

.....Though I'd still rather not get Facebook friend requests from people I hated in high school, kthx.

I'm impressed by the number of people on Facebook who post great links and have cool things to say. I feel like by the time I posted a link, everyone will have seen it already.
I'm using Facebook for my family and maybe work friends if I hear from any, to appear that I have a life beyond my sekrit life. Problem is, I can't think of anything I want to post that's okay for public knowledge. A guy broke up with me because we were both bottoms? That I have SAD? Let all my super successful cousins know my work life has been hanging by a thread since my divorce? My sisters hardly post anything either, so I'm starting to wonder if I have any point being on there.
I liked reading about how you use it and enjoy being a friending whore. :-)

I view and mostly try to use Facebook as an information-sharing site. It may have changed to more of a social-networking one than it originally was over the years, but no replacement information-sharing site has arisen yet that I know of.
