I think we look at "friend" as one we can get something from (wealth, prestige, recognition/fame) and so determine if he/she can be on our "network" - BS! Aint no one can bring the "value of your entire friend network down to it’s lowest common denominator" but YOU!! However, for me, "friend" has deep meaning, so it takes me a VERY long time to consider one as such. Social networking sites are designed/categorized to request "friends" as it was the intention to include just that (eg. facebook). Be blessed my dear PG While I understand your perspective, I think it’s being bitchy, shallow and “snubish”!

And it might be different from your real life. You an re-create yourself in the Internet (your virtual identity). It is easy and fun (facebook, or myspace), and, for sure, can be serious. I would suggest that in contemporary society the whole concept of “friend” is changing. Mobility. I keep in touch with few of my best friend via email, social networks, and text messages (sometimes for months) and I don’t feel gap (meaning, you dont start from the very beginning) when we meet in persons. No doubts, I prefer to be selective while “adding new friend” (on facebook, for example). But I have few online friends with whom I have great conversations and I can easily “unfriend” those who became “dead souls” (and probably add me just to increase the number of their friend).
