    I had a friend request from a total stranger, but we had a fair few friends in common, so I sent him a message asking who he was. No reply so he got ignored.
    That's happened to me a bit lately though I will add anyone. Even my worst enemies!

    from now on i will only add people i like/or generally know!!!!
    I have no idea why you would add anyone you do not consider a friend.

    Are you on drugs?

    Someone who made your life hell, and you add them on facebook?

    Crazy...

    No idea. You could always ask the person who started it, what they had in mind at the time?

    Ah, I see your problem.

    Honestly, still no idea - I can't think of much "core functionality" that you can do in Facebook, but that you can't do here. Some of it's more easy to access in FB (e.g. photos), but I can't think of a killer app.

    Maybe someone should develop one of those little apps things for dancing.

    No idea what though.

    Why? Without another despotic regime to counter they're bound to win. In fact...maybe...they...already...HAVE

    Me neither, or at the very least a "possible friend". It seems a facebook "friend" is different to a normal "friend" for some people.

    how about a "how much do they suck?" vote ? The polls in here are poor and I'm sure you get more comprehensive polls in FB.

    This should have read..

    I know a Local organiser that made friends with a dancer on Face book, and then abused that friendship to promote their Smooth Jive classes to that dancers non dancing friends on face book....

    Um! Now I wonder who that was....

    I am glad to say that this is not how any of the other local clubs operate.

    Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how this is an abuse of a friendship? Surely the nature of facebook is that you might link up with friends/acquaintances etc. There are loads of applications on FB that often require people to send things to their friends - they are then free to accept the application or ignore it. Surely the same would apply to anything they were sent that promoted Smooth Jive?

    Very true.

    Also one of the options for "Looking For" is NETWORKING.

    Maybe Facebook is saying something...

    Yes you are missing something

    Yes to THEIR friends, not other peoples friends without asking

    Why yes, you can choose to join a network if you're interested in dance - or anything else - what a good idea Hopefully no one will take the CHOICE away from you and send you stuff you didn't opt in to. After all its all about CHOICE isn't it.

    Yes - obviously only with dance photos. Animating the photo would be cool, but maybe a bit much for a web app!
