Well I gave it a go, but it is so invasive. I am constantly getting
emails telling me that I have more friends than I realise, I have never
heard of them, they are not friends, they are contacts of contacts of
contacts ad nauseum. So into touch it gets kicked.

That was and still my experience with Facebook. They won't let me go
so I assume other people are getting messages about me being their
friend.

I don't think I've ever had emails telling me about potential friends. In
fact I don't really get any emails from Facebook at all.

Everyone I ask about their use of Facebook says the same thing about
it trying to make people into friends but they all continue to use it!


I'm no great fan of Facebook, but a few pictures on the website saying
you may know these people isn't exactly trying to make people into friends
though is it. It's easily ignored

Those fascinate me. Several are people I have known but it baffles me how
Face Book made the connection. Often with no friends in common.
