While I to some extent echo your sentiment, I am also tempted to suggest that many people use the idea of facebook "friends" as a means of joking around, of making jokes and procrastinating. I have a number of real-life friends (the very wording of which robs sincerity from this comment) who play around on facebook, "friending" everyone they can think of, from imaginary people (such as Houlden Caulfield) to William Taft, and then creating outrageous friends-details. They will "friend" people who have their name, people they randomly find, people they met once. I am inclined to think this not a terribly bad thing, as facebook as I see it is a social network and also a sort of vast and purposeless game.
Which isn't a conclusion or a consolation but is more of an addendum.
