Facebook clearly brings people out. I'm a passive member in that I won't ask anyone to add me as a friend. Within the first week I had 11 friends. One was the person who asked me to join another was my GF. Of the remaining 9 - 8 were ex-Gfs and 1 was a guy from HS who I had not heard from in 15 years. It is kind of creepy. Do these people scan Facebook weekly looking for new people they once knew?

I also don't get people who have 250-400+ friends. I think people just want to add anyone they have ever met. I got a friend request from a girl who had dated my best friend in grade 9. I met her a half dozen times 18 years ago. Why would I care what happened to her or what she is up to now?

I do find the drama interesting. I have two couples as friends who are constantly fighting. It is great to watch their status lines and relationship status change. I don't understand people who air out their dirty laundry like that but I do find it entertaining.
