Actually Alice, I've...Thanks for your comments! Actually Alice, I've met in person almost all the people I've friended. The only ones I haven't are blog buddies in the States that I haven't met in person yet, but sure would like to.<br /><br />No current co-workers are friends, but several ex-co-workers are, but they're also friends in real life too. <br /><br />There's a ton of people I've met, in person through blogging. Most of you know who you are! Thanks for reading!<br /><br />I can see Sarah and Neil's point about friending people they don't actually know. There have been several cases where various spy agencies create fake people and try to friend their targets.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-82162033033182458592011-01-02T20:56:39.918-07:002011-01-02T20:56:39.918-07:00My FB friends include people that I currently hang...My FB friends include people that I currently hang out with (heffers), some colleagues, a few friends from college and high school days, and more recently family that I don't see very regularly. Funny that you mentioned that many of your FB friends are people who you haven't met because a fair number of my FB friends are people who I've "met" through my blog!<br /><br />I NEVER befriend current students and have only a few past students (there's sorta a 10 year moratorium for me...if you still remember who I am after 10 years, then yeah, I'll be your friend). <br /><br />I kinda like FB. It illustrates to me quite clearly that even though the peeps I'm friends with may have different religious, political, economic views than I have, for the most part, we have much more in common than not. Most of my friends are just living their lives, raising their kids, having some fun, working too much. Getting by. It's a good thing :-)Aka Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691390225208616675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-87986939069269860852011-01-02T20:41:11.878-07:002011-01-02T20:41:11.878-07:00Good FB questions!

I don't always accept friend requests...if I don't really know you or anything about you (or want to know you more) then I will not accept it...I'm talking random people. Of my post-college ex BFs, none of them are FB friends and I don't have any interest in that, no reason since we aren't friends in 'real life". In not a "let's still be friends and really mean it" type of girl. <br /><br />I'm like Kelly, love having my family on there too, I feel like I get to see more of my far-away family more this way. <br /><br />Building relationships is a great focus for the New Year! I like it :-) <br /><br />So, another good question is co-workers and FB....Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516568686704676403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-65580054064334384282011-01-02T20:22:31.966-07:002011-01-02T20:22:31.966-07:00I second Neil, I don't friend anyone I do not ...I second Neil, I don't friend anyone I do not know.

I always send a note to tell them that is my personal stuff and as you know, I don't put anything wacky on there...I just don't think it is appropriate. I had my 20 year highschool reunion in 2009 and got a bunch of friends around then...I am seriously considering taking them off now as I did not have contact with them before and still don't. I LOVE having my family on FB as how else would I see my cousin's kids or them see mine?? Family does not mean blood related...I am MUCH closer to a couple of people I have known from my university days than even my siblings. They are totally family!! My kids call them Auntie. Could go on...but sounds like a movie is starting in our house...Kelly B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01714590623942266353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-85970605179254156622011-01-02T17:14:15.934-07:002011-01-02T17:14:15.934-07:00I facebook people who I come into contact with nat...I facebook people who I come into contact with naturally. I don't search or randomly friend. Very few people from my past are on my list. Most are runners, endurance athletes, etc.Neil Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314081507877138432noreply@blogger.com
