Can I ignore their invite?
“Can I be your friend?” might work as an ice-breaker among small children, but it’s not a question you hear often between adults, at least not outside of Las Vegas.
Friendship, it is generally understood, is a relationship that evolves through shared interests, common experiences and a primeval need to share your neighbor’s power tools.
Yet for many people, Facebook permits a return to the simplicity of the schoolyard.
Not everyone is blessed with strokes of literary genius when conversing or creating a status on Facebook. Lucky for us there are people out there taking screen shots of these Facebook fails so we can all appreciate them for years to come. Don’t be shy, post your mom’s, your girlfriend’s, your brother’s, your grandma’s, or even your own failbook moments.
According to product manager Andrew Huang, one can tag their friends over his/her status updates.Expect this feature to be out by the next couple of weeks.
Here’s how it works. Let’s say someone post he’s having lunch at a particular place, now he can tag his friends’ name. This will make it easier for people to search for posts mentioning those particular friends.
This feature is pretty much similar to those found in photos, notes and links.
Notice to my friends: I love you all dearly.
But I don’t give a hoot that you are “having a busy Monday,” your child “took 30 minutes to brush his teeth,” your dog “just ate an ant trap” or you want to “save the piglets.” And I really, really don’t care which Addams Family member you most resemble. (I could have told you the answer before you took the quiz on Facebook.)
Here’s where you and I went wrong: We took our friendship online. First we began communicating more by email than by phone. Then we switched to “instant messaging” or “texting.” We “friended” each other on Facebook, and began communicating by “tweeting” our thoughts—in 140 characters or less—via Twitter.
All this online social networking was supposed to make us closer. And in some ways it has. Thanks to the Internet, many of us have gotten back in touch with friends from high school and college, shared old and new photos, and become better acquainted with some people we might never have grown close to offline.
Facebook is serious business
