The "friends" Feature


Gbarce

Recommended Posts

I got a message that I was added as a friend my another forum member. I said - wow - new feature! So I started adding forum members as friends too. Basically the regulars that respond to my posts and vice versa.

I don't mean to exclude anyone ok, I consider everyone on the forum as my friend :lol:

But beyond the things that we associate with the term "friend" - what excactly are the intended uses of the feature?

Note : I never got the hang of sites like Friendster, My Space, Face Book and other social networking site so please educate me on this. :mrlooney:

I don't think there is anything to it other than designating someone as a friend. Two people have added me as their list of friends, but I haven't added anyone to mine. Kind of makes me a little sad. :(

But how sad is it that you didn't name those two as your friends also....? :P

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

I thought I replied, but I am very absent minded sometimes - maybe that's why I don't have too many friends. :blink:

Maybe I was embarrassed to have them as friends. :unsure:

Ooops! Now people know I was one of the two.... :huh:

I guess I should add my own personal viewpoint. I havn't added any friends, for the simple reason that it seems so selective, and I've been in touch with so many here on the Forum that I would in all likelihood forget a few. So my approach: everybody is a friend! :)

Dear Kathryn, Bill and others who have added me as your friend: Yes, I am your friend, and you are my friend, and I think you know that without me displaying a list. I don't want anyone to think I'm anti-social, it's just as Bo said, don't want to risk leaving anyone out. Too long of a list and no additional purpose or advantage, so I'm skipping it, but you're all my friends! :)
