your social network consists not just of people who work or study where you do
but also of people you’ve formed one-on-one relationships with: teachers
ex-sisters-in-law
bowling buddies
and so on. It’s the same with Facebook: You start with a network of school or work buddies (see Chapter 3)
and then add friends one at a time. You can also use Facebook to look up old friends and find new ones. Why would you want to enlarge your Facebook social circle? Well
having friends is really the whole point of joining Facebook. You get to swap life-in-progress tidbits (both serious and silly)
share what you’re reading
play online games…the list is endless. But first you need to gather your pals. Read on to learn how. How Facebook Friends Work. In the world of Facebook
a friend is any Facebook member who has agreed that you two have something in common. Maybe you play on the same softball team
volunteer at the local animal shelter together
or keep running into each other at parties thrown by the same ex-roommate. Maybe you dated
took a road trip together
or you’re second cousins twice removed. How you know a Facebook friend doesn’t matter
all that matters is that you both agree that you know each other. Facebook has no way of verifying the relationships between friends. But one of the major differences between Facebook and MySpace—the other big social networking site—is that Facebook strongly encourages truthfulness. So
while having a zillion “friends” is considered a status symbol on MySpace
it’s not such a big deal on Facebook—and may even prove annoying. Because Facebook lards your home page with news of your “friends’ ” activities
having to weed through a bunch of news about people you don’t really know doing a bunch of things you don’t really care about gets old quick. On Facebook
the goal is to put together a manageable list of people you actually know—and actually care about keeping up with. Two people become Facebook friends when one person extends an invitation and the other person accepts
or confirms
it. When you become friends with someone on Facebook
three things happen: You appear on your friend’s friend list (Viewing Your Friends) and on her profile page (and vice versa) . On Facebook
as in life
you’re known by the company you keep: Everyone with access to your friend’s profile (or yours) can see the relationship between the two of you. And with the click of a mouse
folks can hop from your friend’s profile to yours
or from your profile to your friend’s. One of the best
most addictive things about Facebook is its confessional nature. Facebook profiles encourage members to pontificate about subjects that don’t often come up in polite conversation. So
when you’re friends with someone in Facebook
you might be surprised by the juicy details you learn about them. You can see your friend’s profile (and vice versa) even if he’s not in your network . This means you can see the Events he’s planning to attend
the Groups he’s joined
and all the other people he’s friends with
among other details. (The exception to this is if your friend has specifically blocked you from seeing certain personal details
as explained on Fighting Back.) You receive automatic updates in your News Feed (Types of Updates) chronicling your friend’s Facebook activities (and vice versa) . Chapter 6 explains how to sign up for updates on your friends’ Facebook activities and how to customize the updates your friends get about you. Finding Friends. Before you can make someone your friend
you first have to find that person on Facebook. The site gives you four different ways to do this: You can look up real-life friends and acquaintances who are already Facebook members. You can invite real-life friends and acquaintances who aren’t on Facebook to join the site. You can search for Facebook members you’ve never met but who share your interests (such as a background in server-side technology or a passion for container gardening). You can browse through the potential friends Facebook suggests for you (based on criteria such as both of you going to college at the same time and sharing a common Facebook friend). The following sections explain all of your options. Finding People Who Are Facebook Members. Some of your real-life friends and acquaintances might already be on Facebook. To find them
use one of the following search methods: Search for Facebook members by name . To do so: Start typing the person’s name in the search box at the top of any Facebook screen . If one of the profile pictures Facebook pops up looks like the person you’re trying to find
bingo: You’ve found your pal! Simply click her picture to see her profile. Otherwise
click the “See more results” link at the bottom of the list of suggested people. On the search results page that appears
click the People link on the left-hand side to weed out extraneous results
such as Groups and applications that happen to contain your searchee’s name . Facebook displays a list of people matching the name you typed in. If the list is gigantic
you can narrow your search using the drop-down menu at the top of the list. Choose Location
Education
or Workplace from the menu
and then type a location
school
or workplace in the text box and click the Filter button. In Facebook
all clickable links are blue.
