Week # 2

Will you be my friend?

In a literal sense, being a friend usually entails knowing someone and engaging in activities or community on a regular basis, whether through an organization or personal relationships formed over years of being acquainted.
Usually there are common interests, bonds and even shared relatives or mutual friends.
In recent times, acquiring virtual friendships has entered into our society within the open doors of the Internet by means of social networking sites, sites whose users beg the question, "will you be my friend?"
How many millions of people have experienced the phenomenon of MySpace, Facebook, and other websites created solely for the purpose of facilitating relationships between people with similar interests and business goals?

I think you'll find many people are still very guarded when it comes to internet 'friends'. With social networking sites most people I've talked to are only friends with people they already knew outside of the interweb :)
