facebook

Good use of Facebook is looking for a missing person.

What is Facebook courtesy? Do you really have to say yes to every friend request? I don't believe everybody needs to be friends with me on Facebook. Friendship is not predicated on being Facebook friends.

Using Facebook for me started as way to easy way to catch-up with friends I don't see. Instead, it's become a means by which people seem to know details about me that I don't need shared. People at work are not going to see me the same way that my high school friends see me. Just because I want to connect with you one time doesn't mean I want to be friends forever.

Friendship is hard enough without trying to figure out the Facebook etiquette. It's interesting to hear from friends who have cut off Facebook. I miss them but I understand their reasons. Drawing borders is difficult especially when it's your public face.
