Were we friends? A Facebook rant….

Dec 20 2007

Social networking is such a strange mistress.

I read an article that said, basically, that you know it’s time for a new social network when random people from your past or people you don’t want to find you, request to be your friend.

The person above was from my high school and on my freshman year basketball team. NIce enough guy, but I don’t remember a time, ever, when I would consider us “friends.” Also, when you say “Remember me?”,
that might be a sign that we don’t know each other that well.

So, now comes the big decision. Do I approve or ignore.

I thought I would send the following email:

“Hey _______, I do remember you, high school right?

Were we ever friends?”

I won’t do that, of course. But why do these Websites require us to make these tough decisions?

Anyway, if you want to be my “professional” friend, using the new Friend grouping feature, let’s be friends
