What Facebook Says About Friendship Posted: Feb 04, 2010 The screen popped up with a message waiting for me to read. It was some kid I never really ever talked to. Evidently he had slipped through the cracks the last time I cleaned out my friend list. I just ignored the conversation. He kept talking, even after I didn't reply. Eventually, I took my status to offline, completely evading the situation. I would venture to say many people can relate to such a story. The window pops up, or you get a message, or a comment, and wonder, "Why is that person talking to me? We're not even that close!" You guessed it. I'm talking about Facebook.
