Facebook 'Friends'

Today most of us keep performing one thing, no that's not breathing.... duh.... that's FACEBOOK. Look at anybody around you he/she is busy performing much 'important' status updates all the time. If the guy or girl don't have a portable computer then there's always a handset available. The much 'awaited' status updates are always there.


But there's something more to Facebook... People that we call friends. Just ask yourself when was the last time you opened your Facebook Account.... that done, now ask How much of the people appearing in the left central pane of your profile do you really know..


No offence but there might not be more than 10-15 people whom you know personally. And only 5-6 are those whom you can look upto at desperate times.


Don't think that I am against Facebook in any way. I have great experiences with Facebook so I will never knock it. I just wonder how we can better connect with the people on our pages. Are they nervous to talk to us? Are we bothering them? Or do we need to reach out to them?


I think it really just comes down to friendships in general. It is not about the quantity of friends but the quality of friends. Cherish the relationships you do have and make sure to help them grow.

I don’t believe Facebook has killed real life friendships, I think it has allowed us to connect to people we may never have and allowed us to stay in touch ways we didn’t have before.

What are your thoughts?

  1. First of all, I believe facebook isn't even made for nearby friends at all, since you have a phone for that, its for old far away friends that you might not ever meet, since you're at two different ends of the world, just to keep touch
