On a side i can't stand the facebook lurkers and the people who use it to spy on others ... like this girl at my work who joined her new b.f network just so she could see what he was posting on other peoples walls


soo true...facebook's like the paparazzi...everyone can see everything you're doing, the history etc....a girl i know was also spying on her boyfriend through facebook and apparently he had too many girls on his list that she didn't know...hahaha...they fought over it until he finally deactivated his account..

But facebook and other similar means can help build a relationship. Obviously face-to-face contact is a necessity in any important relationship, however they can help.

I've made several friends that I would consider close through facebook. I may have met them informally through a third party and later added them through facebook. I then began talking to them on a more regular basis and became closer to those ppl and felt like I knew them next time I met them face-to-face.

Without facebook, I may not have developped these friendships.


very true. right it may serve as a good way to break the ice. Ive def gotten acquainted with many people using online networking sites. And if they seemed like worthwhile people then I would take the time to meet them, otherwise never, unless ive met them somewhere before...

"Friend-collectors" are pathetic lol esp on MYSPACE where they run rampant (I just delete requests from ppl who i dont know, and I keep my profile page viewable to only my friends).

Since I don't go on msn, Facebook is ideal for me, especially to just ask friends weekend plans; I'm too lazy to ask everyone on msn. Besides, I'm not adding all my facebook friends to msn...that's just asking for trouble! :p

My mother is on there, so is my aunt.
But back up for a second - people join FB to make friends?

Only people I knew a long time ago or feel close to now are on my list. I've declined people I've never met simply because I keep FB for people I actually know. Which reminds me, I think I'm going to clean up my list a bit.
