It always threw me off a bit calling all whoare my Facebook Friends, "Friends".  Sure there are lots of you out there I would consider friends but the other half are not. Some of my friends, I don't even know who they are.


Not that these people are nice and really great but would you really consider them friends?  It almost dilutes the value of the word friend. I think Facebook needs to have an "Acquaintance" list or "Colleague" list.

hahaha thats funny...I always laugh at the terms..Unfriend me..it is lame...I have people ask me would you be my friend...and I feel weird...even friends I have today we never met that way...Andy its one of those things that if you hafta ask...we all know they arent

I remember when I met you at the show...I was standing against the wall with all the other shy guys and I got my nerve up to walk over to you and ask you that question...Will you be my friend? You said Yes and my heart popped outta my chest with joy...I was skipping down the isles of the show floor..hahaha

and ever since then we been chums ole pals..hahahaha..I know its corny..but I like to say to all my friends on FB that they are contacts who I may act friendly towards...but would u be my friend is cheesy

That's it, it is cheesy. Facebook was meant for friends, past and present. It has become a way to network for business as well. Wish they would come up with new terminology.

Yea Gene, you would be on the friend half.

Gene,

You always make me smile! Dude you are like me and would snap some mofos neck like a dry twig if he messed with ya! It’s the New Jersey thing in ya! I feel that!

Andy,

facebook friends? Geez dude! Do you water their gardens? If you think they are really friends, post you are moving and see how many of those sedentary puter dweebs show up to help ya pack the truck! Hahahahahahahahaha!

Gene, Tom M and I would show up though!

Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. In fact, just get the hell away from me, will ya already?


Jeesh!

I'll water your garden, but I'll have to have a lot of that snake wine.

I mean, you know....

Although Facebook Friend may never meet , I still think it is another kind of friendship , differeent to friends in true life .

Hey Lee,

I suppose you are correct.  Just seems like we have devalued the word friend.

Welcome to the FabNet.

Bill,

 An aquaintance might be the one to come bail you out of jail, but a friend will be in jail with you saying "Damn wasn't that fun"     

or Lenny did you say "Darn fun wasn't it"?   Just kiddin... maybe not

Hi Kelsey,

I think I said "Lets do that again" when we make bail!

yes.... and didn't you also say "vegas cops won't care"....

No Kelsey,

In the altered parallel universe we are discussing, I said GENERALLY Vegas Law enforcement doesnt care about that!

I feel there are several types of facebook friends. I can't categorize them all together as I have my famiily fb friends, my friends in life fb friends and then I have people that network with me to help tell potential clients the good things about my business and then in turn I do the same for them. We sometimes get together in our city and go to functions to promote each others connections. We also just generally share what we know about our great city and the people and events that are current. I also have fb friends that don't live in my city which I learn so much from about the world and other cities and issues they face, current events and the successes they experience.

All in all, a very enlightening and uplifting, networking experience at the same time promoting my business, so I get to do it in working hours too = fun to me
