Sometimes I do, that's what orkut is about, making friends. If the person who is adding me has something I like and has something in common with me I will probably add that person. I like to make new friends and that's a way of doing them.
I don't usually like to add people I don't know and if I feel that person is adding me just for adding and nothing more than that I don't add. There are people who love to have thousands of friends just to say they are popular. I'm not that kind of person.

no, i don't know why strangers keep on sending scraps or add request. i don't prefer adding the strangers in orkut. I joined orkut to get linked to old friends.

Hello ackars. The last time I requested to be added as friend was 3 months ago. It was not my habit to go around and keep requesting for friendship. Granted, I was very selective in choosing friends but I never denied anyone either.
I will weigh a poster based on the threads they posted. Then I make sure to make my presence known with the poster first before making the step.
Until now, I still don't understand why a lot of members are requesting to be on my list and yet, I never saw them in any of my threads. I just accept them and see if they deserve to have my support and attention or not.

I do, I like to add people to my messenger and I like to add people also to my communities, sometimes I deleted someone form my contact list when they don't come online for long time and if I don't have talk much with that person, I just delete them, I have to add a lot of people and I have find that a lot of people don't like to talk with strange on Internet they just delete you.

Tell me what should I do now? You want to add me. O.k., As we are from same city, I am adding you. Dont get hurted. Just kidding. My proper is Vellore. I will see their profile first and then think whether to add or not. I have sent friend request to two persons only. The remaining all are came by themselves. And I added them(like you).

Yes I do add people whom I don't know. We are here mainly for earning money and sharing information, ideas, opinions, advice and etc.
Correct Me if I am wrong. To my knowledge all of my friends in my list are unknown to me but we are friends now. I always accept, exception sometimes but it rarely happens, Building friends list is also very good for us, it helps in many ways, responding to you every discussion, rating you sometimes, helping each other.
So, it is not bad to add strangers too as a friend.

of course yes! yes i do accept people as my friends whom i dont know. if we accept invitations only from the people whom we know, then each one will have as few as 5 or 6 friends only! isn't it? i do not know anyone here in mylot. all are strangers only. whats wrong in accepting invitations here in mylot? most people are good, and we are not gonna interact with them unnecesarily. so i guess theres nothing wrong in accepting invitations from strangers here in mylot.

Yes of course. I don't know anyone here in mylot personally. That's why I add people even if I don't know then. I just want to have friends.
And if someone added me in their friend list, I feel overwhelmed. That's why I enjoy my stay here in mylot. ;)
