What makes YOU a good Facebook friend?

Sending my Friend request now...

Actually, I don't think I've ever sent one. You'd be the first. I pretty much don't post anything on FB.

I don't play any games/use any apps that "auto post" on facebook.  No playstation awards, no foursquare checkins, no requests for junk in fronteirville.

Hot pictures of me in spandex.

1. I didn't like the baby llama you gave me. Sorry.

2. Not enough nekidd pics. Thanks.

I'll take that, thanks.

I just thought everyone loved baby llamas. I see now that I was wrong.

The pictures I would have to send to you privately, no need to share with everyone.

I haven't noticed.

Besides, I may not like baby llamas ... but I always need a Donkai.

I'm an , is that good enough?

ETA:  BT censors edited me... but I think you can guess my meaning :P

I consider myself a good friend for NOT being on Facebook...

If you're an [BT censored], I'm a boob.

Keith, my love! Well, you have a very pretty, friendly, faithful ghost cat praying for my Suicide, so you're in. No worries.

Okay. That, and you, I love.

Yeah, what she said. Only more. Or less?  

F*** YOUR FARM!

I'm fairly picky about whom I select on Facebook, wanting to have some connection.  You went to junior or highschool with me?  S what? Most people were jerks then.  My friend count is still in double digits.

LinkedIn on the other hand I am a little less picky. That's for CAREER stuff! Real networking, not helping to raise magic goofy fruit.

And while we are on the subject: if you choose to send a connection request to someone you don't interact with regularly or haven't talked to in years, make a little mention of how you know them.  I waste enough time as it is without playing detective trying to figure out if I'm being spammed or not. Kthanx!

Posts like this kinda crack me up. These social sites are a whole new paradigm and people are still sorting out how they work best. Some people use Facebook every day, all day, and some post once a week. I've been told by some friends that I post too much, and by others that I don't post enough. Neither of these views is wrong. I post "just-enough" for me.

As for the games, it's really easy to block the application for the game without blocking the "friend."Then you'll never see the posts that come up in your feed, or the requests that get sent to you. Easy-peasy.

The only rules I follow for FB is that I don't post pictures of people without their approval first. And I don't tag people in photos if they've asked not to be tagged. I comment on political posts, but keep it respectful and diplomatic. And I ask friends to have the same level of respect for me and my posts.

I've only unfriended a few people, and none of them were Real Life friends, but instead were friends-of-friends that I thought might contribute something interesting, and then turned out to be the kind of people I don't like to be around.

Amen.  I had someone unfriend me for my game posts.  And it was someone I really wanted to keep in touch with.  I tried to tell them that they can block the game posts and it's super easy.  I block all of them except the one game I play.  But this person decided that was too much effort.  Alas, friend lost.

I think FB does a great job of allowing you to block what you don't want to see.  I don't know why people get their panties in a wad over what people post.
