Well this is just an annoyance I have noticed about facebook and other social networking sites. You get people who would never even speak to you in real life, let alone call themselves your "friend" will befriend you with no qualms, and even get annoyed at you when you reject their friend request . anyone else notice this?
That's why I have my maximum amount of friends set to 150. If I get a request from another person I actually want to add, I cull another. - Diosjenin -
if they're somebody you don't even know well enough to add as a facebook friend, why do you care if they're pissed off?
I once rejected someone, then met them the next day and they didn't realise who I was. It is odd, yes.
I think the definition of "friend" on Facebook and other social networking sites is a bit different than our usual use of the word. Perhaps "acquaintance" would be a better term.
i only use it for a once a month check up to see what my 'acquaintances' are up to that i wouldnt normally see such as good friends from school that have left the area as far as adding people you dont know why bother!
i always feel quite perplexed when people tell me they're addicted to facebook. why? of course, like everyone else, i'm on it. but it just feels like a waste of time to me. if i want to talk to friends, then i'll pick up the phone, go on msn, or (god forbid) actually go outside and meet up them, haha. i only use mine when i'm bored.
I stopped using it when some arse I knew from school commented on a photo of my little brothers. They weren't even my friend but they were the friend of my sister or something. Creeped me out a little bit.
It just perplexes me, I mean, why? It's especially amusing when the kid who used to make your life miserable in high school adds you and then proceeds to act like you were best buddies
I always saw it as a tool to keep in contact with people you don't normally speak to every day.So I don't mind having "friends" that I don't see on there.
I see Facebook as a tool to organise and share (photos, whatever). I don't use it to keep in touch with 'friends'.
Good: Helps me find old friends that I actually want to speak to, which is great. Good for finding incriminating pictures of friends Bad: Random people adding me Random people adding me that don't even talk People adding me from school that I have never spoke to (and never will) "Oh hey, how are you? wubu2?" style comments on a regular basis My mum is on it
Bad 2: My boss is on it All my managers are on it My previous boss is on it More than half my coworkers are on it The worst part is.. I can't click deny because then they would come up to me at work and ask me why I didn't accept
