For all people know, they're "friending" people who could be detrimental connections. “Bamboo for you” is my new favorite phrase.

Great post, great points.

I worry about the concept of too many friends.

How intense does a relationship need to be? Can’t it ebb and flow like my “real-life” friendships did before IRC, email, Facebook, etc. came along?

Can I have different types of friends? See I want to know the highlights of the lives of the girls once in my GS troop, my nieces and nephews but I don’t need to know that they had Sugar Pops for breakfast.

I like being friends with my colleagues who work hundreds of miles away because Facebook can be our virtual watercooler.

Sometimes the friends are like folks I meet st conferences – we bond for a session or two. But then I don’t see them until the next conference.

I like how a Twitter got me to your post because I want to share it with some others … especially the part about paying someone to build relationships for you.
