Just recently I opened latitude on Android, and guess who came up as a suggested friend. Just had to laugh as I saw this post come up in google reader.

No because I don't befriend them, it's just less complicated. I share pictures I take directly from my computer, I send stuff via email or other forms. So maybe i'm weird, but it's worked for me.

But I noticed this act limit discussions, so, I created a list for unknow/readers on Facebook and, since then, I add those people on it. Thanks to Facebook privacy controls, I'm able to avoid unknown people who's my friend (that sounds weird) to access personal content. []'s!

Not only to protect your privacy, but it also makes the likes of Facebook much more useful and fun if you're only seeing updates from people you care about - and you feel more free to make updates yourself because it's semi-private. One of the things that's always urked me a bit about Leo's attitude to Facebook as this his experience is entirely one sided, so he's never seen how different it is when it's just a group of people you know, rather than random fans.

The one thing I wish facebook would do is force friend requests to include a personal message. I never request someone that I don't personally know without introducing myself, but I recieve many without an explanation.

Lists aren't really enough. Something like Gmail filters, in reverse, would be really cool. Based on the content only the people you intend to see a post about, for example, seeing a movie on the weekend but everyone else would only see the latest book you found that was cool or your latest blog post.

I generally approve most friend requests on FB specifically to share blogs/bits of writing I do. I still need to find an equilibrium there... Basically, I try to keep my private life separate from my online life, aside from a few hilarious anecdotes I share back and forth ;-) Isaiah Roberts Good for you Gina!
