Facebook friends


Question Posted Monday January 18 2010, 7:52 pm

Okay, so I got a facebook at the end of November. I totally DO NOT get the point of it. Especially adding friends. I have a bunch of invites from friends, but I don't know many of them or have never talked with them through my whole entire school career. It's really weird, because even if I do accept their friend invites we never talk in school or on facebook. I have 47 people who have asked me to be their friend, but I don't talk with them or I've never seen them, but know that they go to my school because of their name, and my school is fairly small comparatively speaking. If I leave a comment on their wall or send them a quick im on fb, i dn't get a response for a while. It's odd, much different than Skype or AIM. So I guess what I'm trying to ask is, Why do people you've NEVER talked with ask you to be their friend? And is it only me who finds this bizarre? Sorry if this ends up seeming lame to you. Also is there a particular reason why my friends in China cannot access facebook? They haven't been on for nearly 6 months. Did the government take control of it?

Well people, from the same school as others, just add people you know. When you get the hang of facebook you'll be doing the same. Don't see it as a negative thing but as a positive. It gives you chance to connect and get to know more+newer people. + Facebook im/chat does seem to crash a lot lately. Try inboxing :).
Sorry i cant help with the china thing.. maybe theres a bad connection over there?.
HopeIHelped.

hey. yea i have the same thing. I just transfered to a new school my junior yr and there are a bunch of people from my school that added me but its like i never talk to them? On facebook or in school, maybe its just that they wanna see how many friends they can get? Because people like to have alot of friends on these social networking sites, but I honestly have no clue for sure. But I think its a weird also, so your not alone ha. But if your feeling friendly give em a hey, or hi. Its ok, maybe youll make some new friends? Personally I just dont talk to them, but whatever. I dont know if this helps, also I have NO clue about the china one, sorry dear. n Good luck
