Unfriendly Territory
Chapter: Random
My Facebook account is teaming with people that I don’t know. At some point a few years ago, my social network jumped the shark from just being about my actual friends to people that “know” me. In some cases, I actually don’t know who the heck the person is. (I tend to ignore those requests).
As I don’t really post things of a personal nature, I’m not too terribly bothered by friending people who share mutual friends, but bit by bit, I can’t help but think there needs to be another option in social networking at large: Acquaintance
Am I right?
