I do have random people on there, but that's pretty much to help me out on some of the game apps, that requires you to have a certain amount of friends (who too have the game app) to proceed in later levels in the game. We don't talk or anything.

Facebook is starting to turn into myspace now, being used as a dating tool. Such as the girl who found a guy with the same name as her...

...They ended up getting married.

But the whole idea of posting on here to get your friend, more friends, is... Odd, to put it nicely. Your best bet is her trying to look up high school friends and college friends. Hell I even got people on there I went to Elementary school with.

So it's pretty much instant messenger??

lol honestly, that's basically what I use it as. I don't even bother getting on AIM more than a handful of times a month.

I almost can't wait until we can say that about FB.

I'm not being mean, but she looks like some of those webcam spambots I get in Facebook sometimes...

Being younger and using facebook from the day I started undergrad, I dont have as pessimistic of an attitude about it.

There are privacy concerns, but with settings and simply not accepting everyone that can be mitigated. Also its obvious not all of those people are your friends. I use it more as a networking tool. It is a really easy way to stay in touch with old college buddies and maybe just connections that you have. It can always help down the road if you are interviewing, need a lift in a random town, etc. It can hurt as well.

Pretty much my thoughts about facebook in a nutshell.

After you friend this girl I'd love to tell you about an amazing investing opportunity I can facilitate for you through my friend Pierre Ngendo. He is the son of the deposed president of Zamunda and he needs to transfer money to the US. Email me and I'll tell you more.

... If he's from Nigeria, I'm all ears. In fact I just won the British lottery a few months back.

what an awesome thread.

the link is now down, maybe facebook maintenance, but my friend Andrew just said that she is now starting to get friends like crazy.

I'll admit, this person could be trying for something like Tila Tequila, although from what she said, i really thought she was different.

Wait, is she your real friend (like you've actually met her in person prior to accepting her friend request on facebook) or someone you only know from the interwebs?

[SolidSnake84]

My brother knows her. I myself have never met her in person.

[12thMan]

Hey guys I'm almost up to 400 friends, will someone please add me

[Big C]

to the OP...a few points, and i preface this with IF she is real...

1. you say shes new to the area so she needs facebook friends...well most of us on here arent from northern virginia, so how will us adding her help her get situated in the area?

2. even the people that do add her will never meet her, talk to her, or improve her life in any way

3. if she really wants you and your brother to get her facebook friends, then this is someone you shouldnt be talking to anyway, sounds like a nutjob.

just my 2 cents.
