Friends or Frenemies?

Don't you just hate when those people you hardly even know add you on Facebook? But wait, go through all of your friends on your friends list right now. Do you know all of those people well enough to call them a 'close friend'? If so, then you are among one of the few people left who can claim that achievement. I definitely do not just stick to adding my close friends on Facebook.

But why do we add people we may not like on these social networking sites, where we wouldn't dare talk to them in the real world? Is it for the bigger number of friends on your list? Is it for comparing yourself to these people? Most of us do add people who are not our close friends, and my question to you is why?

Facebook Pet Peeves

Hello all! Sorry it's been some time since the last post, but life has been a bit hectic.

Anywho, how's the world of social networking treating you? I know we all love the idea of being able to connect with anyone, anywhere, at anytime during the day. It's a great way to stay in touch with old friends or connect with new ones.

But what about all those irksome downfalls of social networking sites. Friend requests from random strangers, annoying status updates, and inappropriate pictures? No, thank you. Do you think that the benefits of social networking sites outweigh the negatives? And what are your biggest pet peeves about using social networking sites?
