facebook friends

[Light of Dae]

I currently have 139 'friends' on fb and talk to... maybe 3 people who aren't family, and I talk to my family very rarely on there. I know everyone of the 139 but... don't consider any of them close. Got to thinking the other day how awkward our wedding will look no bridesmaids but there will be groomsmen? I have 1 friend who I only knew through grade 4-8 Who I'd consider for a bridesmaid... but she now lives by Toronto and has changed so much I don't know her anymore. I'm going to be deleting many people who don't care about me

Not surprised. Few people have figured out how to use it correctly and effectively. I have to admit, they didn't make it easy, but once I figured it out...

It's like they're not even there. Until I want them to be, that is.

Used those features from the day they started implementing them. It wasn't enough, it was pointless, it served no purpose beyond letting you inflate your friend count by adding people that you didn't want around.

Hahhaha, that's funny. However, I found another purpose. I'm actually interested in seeing some of the things those "friends that I barely know" post on their facebook pages. Also interested in commenting / interacting from time to time. Impossible if they're not in your friends list.

Do I want their stuff cluttering up my news feed? No. Do I want them seeing everything I post, especially things that are really only intended for friends and/or family? No. Thankfully that doesn't have to happen.

Well isn't that special.
