In answer to those inquiring minds who just have to know:
just kidding
but seriously...
Actually it was an experiment to see how it worked and I found:
1) I did not like how accessible to anyone you have "friended". It would be nice if you were able to create layers of levels within facebook that allowed to you open only parts of your facebook to certain groups.
This in itself is not such a big deal, but the problem lies withing the "facebook culture: I thin that many people would be taken aback if you did not accept their "friendship" invitation. So you find yourself (or I think so) in a situation where either you post in a guarded fashion (knowing that a colleague that you "had to friend" might see it,) or possibly having something bite in the ass at some later date.
===============
Let me toss this out for comments. Do you friend basically everyone who asks- or do you refuse them. How about people from work? family? if you are in college, your parents?
If someone declines your invitation to be a friend - how do you feel? Do you take it personally?
cheers
