Perhaps we should start cataloguing all the quagmires and quandaries that social networks have gone and created for us.

I actually have a queue of friend requests stagnating at each and every social networking site I belong to because I just don’t feel like I’m “friends” with these individuals. And I feel guilty, because even though I know that the web wants me to accept a very broad definition of what a friend is, I cannot help but resist. They’re acquaintances, cool people, etc., but not really friends. Our interactions are amicable, but not at the “friend” level. Admittedly, that’s my own assessment. I feel bad for leaving people hanging, like I am rejecting them.

While some add friends left, right, and centre, like there’s no tomorrow, quite often people they’ve never met, or exchanged no more than a single email with, I for one will only accept friend requests under the strictest of conditions… you ask me. :)
