Friend me! But only if I know you

Great piece from Slate today, about the etiquette of Facebook. On occasion (it’s happened to me twice), I’ve been given a friend request, when I don’t know the person. Especially if they do not add the personal note, reminding you where you know each other, what is a girl to do? I’m pretty specific about my friends. I’m glad to see I followed the writer’s advice, even though this story came out just recently and I was faced with this dilemma sometime ago.

Similarly, O’Reilly Radar presents “Social Networking Invitation Etiquette” (via Lifehacker ). Useful tips from a tech guru, with plenty of social networking contacts, offers ways to get noticed. Again, sending the invite blindly, without a reminder of how you might know each other is the not the recommended route.

Having lots of fun on the Facebook. See you there.
