People have so many comments for EVERYTHING
.....and that includes what you do in
FACEBOOK. Yep. The most happening social NETWORKING site in this era. Since people love asking me about MY Facebook, I'm just gonna answer it once and for all. And if I ever get such questions again, I'm just gonna ask them to refer to this post right here.
I don't know why do people even bother about the NUMBER of friends in someone else's list. I mean, is it a matter of life and death or something? I just don't get it.
Do people check my facebook just to see the amount of friends I have???
That's just dumb.
I hate it when people ask me:
- How come you have so many friends on your facebook ah?
- WAhhhhh 5000 friends, really???
- You accept everyone??
- For what you have so many friends of facebook? do you even know them?
- Where did you get 5000 friends?
I wonder how do people come up with various types of questions to the SAME question sometimes. It's amazingly-annoyingly repetitive.
I've heard many people talking about other people who happen to accept load of requests on facebook.
These people are labeled as:
- Desperate for friends
- Desperate to be famous
- Plain Desperate
Yes, the word most used is none other than DESPERATE.
I respect people who only allow people they know in their facebook because they post shit loads of personal stuff in it. But hey, to me facebook is just another public site. In fact, I believe a BLOG is more private than some stupid networking site because people BLOG about everything. Where they go, what they eat, what they're doing, what they're THINKING and shit like that. Not only that, blogs have pictures too. In fact, most of the time, I blog before I even post any pictures in Facebook.
So don't come around telling me that "oh in Facebook there's pictures of yourself, people can see how you look like". Bull-crap. I don't post my address/my msn add/my phone number, etc there.
Here's the million dollar question: It's a norm for a lot of people to blog about their life publicly (Check Nuffnang for various life-infused blogs!) but it's wrong to accept friends in a NETWORKING site? oh okay, ooo...that's soooo logical.
C'mon, people. It's just a friggin number.
Oh, btw, this is my answer to the questions above:
Why do I randomly accept friends?
Well, I tend to forget my acquaintances. I could've met someone at a job somewhere, some dinner, some party, some friends of friends etc. and I might just forget them. So, if I really do wanna start rejecting friend requests I will most definitely reject these people too. I'm so bad at remembering people, I can't even remember some of the people who were in my class! I tend to filter people from my memory. I might be able to recognise their faces after sometime but I wouldn't remember their names. The only people I do keep in mind are those who have made an impact in my life or those who have been close to me or those I've seen alot, etc. Furthermore, I'm too lazy to check for mutual friends. And since, it's a NETWORKING site, WHY NOT?
Here's the meaning of "networking" from the dictionary : the act of working using computer network; the act of connecting computers into network; the act of meeting new people in a business or social context
Although I don't exactly talk to the people on FB, I don't think accepting them as a friend would be that wrong because personally, I don't care who's in or who's not in my FB list 'cause I don't check anyway. It. Does. Not. Matter.
You wanna know how I keep in touch with my real friends? Through the PHONE or sometimes through MSN. So there. You won't see me going around dropping comments on everyone's page that often. I'd only do so when I see something interesting at the "news feed". I don't use FB to keep in touch with people. Most of the time, it's all about the mindless addictive games. I'm a game junkie.
Plus, I know that when I start rejecting or deleting people, a new claim will arise. There's just no possible way in pleasing people is there?
