Facebook Friends | WithoutWax.tv by Pete Wilson

Facebook Friends

A couple years ago I reluctantly joined Facebook. The last thing I needed was something else to keep up with but I quickly found it an incredible tool to find new friends and reconnect with old ones.

The ministry potential is amazing!!!

A while back I hit the friend limit (I have no clue why Facebook does this) and have been unable to add current friend requests. So I’m deactivating my old page and adding a New Page which allows me to add as many friends as I want and also allows me to add some new functions like podcasts and such.

This whole process reminds me of elementary school when you would very nervously send the cute girl in the class a note that said, “Do you like me?” Then directly underneath the question you had two boxes. She could either check yes or no. Here I am 25  years later playing the same game.

All you have to do is CLICK HERE and hit “like.”

Thanks in advance and sorry for the inconvenience.

    Ha! That’s funny. My brother works at Facebook and he always chuckles at the people who didn’t know the friend limit was in place.

    The reason the limit is there is because within Facebook culture, they want to encourage ACTUAL friendships. According to them, you aren’t really suppose to friend people you don’t know and/or have never met. And they think that most people don’t have the ability to have more than 5,000 actual friends.

      Your brother is right. It all comes down to how you define “friend” I’m sure.

      My guess is it would be difficult to have more than 500 actual “friends”. I might need to do a blog post on this one. :)

    haha Sorry, I had a country song enter my head just now when I read this. If you’re familiar with George Straits, “Check Yes or No” – it is fitting somewhat. haha

    And no inconvenience at all on my end – Facebook is simple enough to do switching around easily. Glad to connect with you there as well.

    I know just what you mean. I work in radio and blog so I wanted to connect with a wider group of people than just close friends but still keep a more private conversation going with people I know personally.

    I also set up a Facebook page and had to ask my blog readers to “like” me. Yuck. :)

    Ah, Facebook. I have 2 accounts–one for people I actually know in the non-virtual world and another for people I’ve connected with online. I like the concept of Facebook, however there’s no setting for “level of intimacy”. It’s a little weird that your spouse, mother, father, uncle, aunt, etc., is your friend along with someone who reads your blog that you’ve never actually met. As long as people understand and put in place certain boundaries, I think it’s a great place to connect with old friends and new. I’ve actually been working on a post about Zuckerberg. About how he got some things right and some things wrong. Just like the rest of us, I suppose. And you know I like you, right?
