Fakebook friends

Like many of you, I also subscribed to Facebook. Mostly, to find people I know but lost track of. It's great to find old time friends and see how they are doing. It's an easy way to keep up with your friends.

Facebook was on the news the other day. Communication is about to change completely. People don't socialise any more. They chat and they talk to one another on Facebook. Employees visit Facebook during working hours and tell the whole world how they count down the hours until they can go home or they play online bowling instead of doing whatever they are supposed to do.

What I don't like about Facebook, are the Fakebook friends. People that want to be friends, without knowing you. What's the use? I don't get it. I take great value to real time friends, and I sometimes communicate with them on Facebook, but not the other way around. Friendship is not about having 500 Fakebook friends... at least not to me.
