Where’s Dear Abby when you need her?

August 15th, 2008 Liz - Central Library

The Facebook Book by Greg Atwan was designed, supposedly, as a humor book.  But it actually had some real-life conundrums and their potential solutions.  It was kinda funny too, but mostly useful.

If you have a Facebook profile, then you know that people want to be your ‘friend’, and that there’s a limit to the number of ‘friends’ you can have (something massive like 250) This can this get a bit like high school: some people are actually more interested in collecting quantities of friends than they are in your life (and those types you’re definitely not interested in yourself.)  But…what to do?  ‘Ignore’ them?  Add them as a friend, but dial down the information you get from them?!  It is the stuff of Dear Abby in a way, but also ridiculous and such small stuff to be concerned with in the grand scheme of things.

If you are on Facebook, you may want to check this out, merely to go ‘oh YEAH!’ to the etiquette dilemmas.
