This is why I tend not to "friend" people whom I don't know, with very rare
exceptions. FaceBook for me is not a way to meet people; it's a way to keep
in touch with people I already know, and even to facilitate more
face-to-face contact.
But on Twitter, Dreamwidth and LiveJournal? I'm a complete whore. :)

**"Megan Garber reports that the more friends you have on*
Facebook — or, perhaps more accurately, the more 'friends' you have on
Facebook — the more stressed you're likely to be about actually having
them. The wider your Facebook network, the more likely it is that something
you say or do on the site will end up offending one of that network's
members.
