Every single time I go to a party or meet new people whom I talk to for one or a couple minutes, I get friend requests on Facebook the following day. A dilemma appears: If I accept the friend request the person will have access to everything from my photos to my status updates, I don’t know this person! But if I decline the request, will I ever meet this person again? Because, fact is, a bigger part of our lives is nowadays based on the enormous World Wide Web. Thus, we make contact and get to know people we would never start talking to without social pages like MySpace and Facebook.
Friend means something else today when compared to what it meant before. That is another fact of today’s. A friend ten years ago (a.k.a. the good times) was someone whom I had daily contact with. That’s why I had a couple of best friends, all of my friends were my best friend, and one of them were my “bestest” friend.
This article states what I think is pretty obvious. When at work, people should not be accepting friend requests from clients. The relation between the two parts should stay strictly based on their businesses.
This blog looking article discusses the so-called Web 2.0. People, as written above, start to spend more time on the Internet; blogging, facebooking, commenting on articles with alternative names in order to stay anonymous. The option of commenting articles or YouTube videos have made a new phenomenon famous, Internet fights. In other words; people arguing online, because they can’t get along with each other.
As a little conclusion of what the Internet and the Web 2.0 (as the Silicon Valley people calls it) has brought us on the subject of internet argumenting. I think this picture is awesome!
Thank you for reading

I’m not totally against to the fact that people accept friend requests from their clients. It depends on what use do you give to your social network. There are a lot of business people who is on facebook, and they use it only to favor their commercial interests. I think that we cannot make generalizations with this subject, because Internet also give us a loot possibilities for the economical relationships.
Well, at first I didn’t like social networks like facebook. But, like most people, I have my facebook account now and I use it a lot. I like to share my photos and coments with my real friends to stay in contact with my friends, and facebook is a good tool for this. The problem is that, like you say, if you decline a new friend requests, maybe the person who send it to you feels offend. I think social networks are for friends and, therefore, I think professionals shouldn’t send friend request to their clients.
Very interesting headline and beginning – you can tell that it is about Facebook which easily get me curious and over all you have a personal language!
I am not fully sure what your opinion is about “Internet argumenting”, but I can just assume (by the picture) that you mean that arguing onlie is futile. I don’t really agree with that, of course it depends on WHAT you argumenting about, but if I can tie on to an school essay i wrote in upper secondary school (gymnasiet) about media & democracy, I remember I wrote this;
“Before the Internet was launched there was not as much opportunity as now, when people can easily create blogs, websites and forums which provides a free and open debate. People can discuss with each other and have an outlet for political positions, leading to effective participation and interest in political elections. A disadvantage is that you on the Internet can be anonymous and, therefore, write what you want without anyone knowing who is writing. It can go too far – some throw themselves from anything that may actually violate other people.”
So, of course, it always two sides of every story.
I have the same problem as you dealing with friendrequests the day after a party, and I’m a person who likes to ignore the requests sine I don’t even know the name of the persons. However the problem is that when I meet this person again, a embarrasing situation takes place, bit seriously – why?? I don’t know this person. Would we be friends if I accepted him/her? No. I think people requesting random people are lame, and should really consider making friends in REAL life.
