[quote=Anonymous]Many words have different meanings in different contexts.  These days, the word "friend" is one of them.  In the FB context, "friends" commonly includes your real-life friends, as well as your relatives, friendly acquaintances, former friends/coworkers/classmates, or anyone else that you don't interact with on a regular basis but you are still interested in keeping up with the highlights of their lives.  I'm not someone who posts everyday details on FB like what I am eating or when my kid poops on the potty, but I do try to update things like a new baby, new job, new city, etc., and a couple of times a year I put up a few photos of my family.  I like knowing that level of detail about people even if I'm not in regular touch with them.  I actually rarely interact with my "real life friends" on FB because they already know a lot more than I would ever post on FB.  It's just a totally different animal.

I know some people have no interest in keeping up at all with anyone they would not consider a friend in real life, and that's cool too.  But I guess I'm just curious about people, and considering how many FB friends others seem to have, I suspect I'm not the only one.   [/quote]
