A friend was surprised to see that the number of friends I have on Facebook has increased drastically recently. I have to tell her that I do not even know 3/4 of the people in my list!

I started out on Facebook with the hope of only adding people I really know in real life as friends but I feel really bad if they request for inclusion especially if they found me from “people you may know”.

And then there are friends with multiple profiles who want to raise their game characters or gain points, so much so that I no longer remember whose profile belongs to which *real* person.

I do not see the point of adding a person in our buddy list when we don’t know him or her but I guess most people join social network sites with a mission. They “network” trying to “sell” or blast people in their network with an “idea”.

Well, even though I have twenty blogs, I only added my personal blog to my Facebook profile. That is for the convenience of friends who are genuinely interested to know what’s happening in my life.
