Are your facebook friends really your friends? If someone asks you to be their friend that you knew in middle school (even elementary school) and haven’t seen since - do they really qualify as your friend.
It’s initially nice to catch up with them - but do you even have anything in common anymore?
Re: Facebook friends - friends or foes?
I had 4-5 ppl on face book. I just didn' like the idea and deactivated my account.

Re: Facebook friends - friends or foes?
i found few of my high school friends on facebook...its great. we talk or write on each others wall, but i became really good friends with one of thm...we hang out all the time.
but yeah i do have few "friends" who i took one class with n now we never talk to each other...but i dont wana remove them frm the list (just have to on limited profile)
Re: Facebook friends - friends or foes?
Well, I found a couple of old friends on facebook and we talk off and on... but obviously you don't share the same sentiments or closeness as you did years ago... sometimes it's the familiarity or the memories that draw you close but you obviously don't spend the time you need to build a strong friendship. Plus there's so much that may have happened in their lives that you are unaware of or can't relate to.
Re: Facebook friends - friends or foes?
I signed up back in college, when FB was only limited to college students. It was great back then, but it all went downhill after they stopped enforcing that and the frandshappers arrived.

So true.

so ture.
i dont like emailing my frds and going on msn that often.....
so it works for me .......
as for the frds.... well i am close with some of 'em and others i jst have 'em cuz ahhmmm it would be so rude to delete them :( specially if you see them every now and then......
Facebook is all about increasing your list; even if you don't know people you just keep on adding them if you saw them somewhere at some point of life and then you just add them and thats it...when you're bored you look at their pictures and they do the same...even if you weren't fond of someone back in the days you keep on calling them babes and post good comments on their pictures..i have my family members as well and i stay in touch with them like that as well, and get to know whats going on at their sides...through pictures etc. for some of my friends it even worked like shaadi.com, and for some friends it was easy for them to keep everyone updated about their wedding events and posted pictures in a group they made for their wedding...so it has its plus and minus both points.

But you can hide your id from the people you don't want to add...like my profile is only visible to only friends friends because i know i might get to know those people rest are just friendshippers who add by looking at the display pictures..
Re: Facebook friends - friends or foes?
You dont build FRIENDSHIPS on FB or online, you build friendships in real time and online closeness should be the reflection of that.
I made friends through GS, but I built friendship with them through phones and what not ...
I recently found some schoolmates and we all are very excited to be in touch with each other .. Everytime another schoolmate comes, new excitement comes in ...and that is fun ...
But I dont add people randomly .. only in special cases I reach someone , like someone who was my real friend back then .. its a great way to get back with your old buddies .. but then you can always tweak the settings of FB account so your privacy is intact
