Yes, I don't ever add people that I don't know. I am just looking to reconnect with all my old friends not meet people on the internet so they can choose who they want to be today.

I know each and every person on my friends list. I use Facebook mostly for keeping up with family and friends. I also find lots of people that I've lost touch with over the years...like former classmates, and people I used to work with. I doubt that I'd add people if I didn't really know them to begin with.

Yes I personally know all my friends on facebook. It is a good way to keep in touch with people you probably would not email or write to on a regular basis. It is also nice to share and also learn what is going on in all of our lives. I like sending and receiving gifts to one another or challenging them to a quiz or game. I am not on Facebook daily. Only about 3 or maybe 4 times per week. It's fun but I don't know that I would want to be on there daily.

On Facebook, yes, I do personally know all my friends. Simply because, I don't use it quite as much. Myspace is different, I will add people I don't know there. I have a bunch of bands as friends on myspace.

I have been a member of Facebook for quite sometime now. I must say the friends I have here are distant relatives. And yes distant, that some I haven't really seen yet. I only have about a handful of people that I do not know at all.

I have this thing about not adding anyone that I don't actually know. Right now there are about maybe 10 people that I haven't met in person at some point in my life. Most of those are from my channel on IRC. I've been there for years and the people have become like family to me. Other than that I've got 2 ladies on my list that I haven't met yet but they have married gentlemen that mean alot to me and one of these days we are all gonna get together again and meet each other's family in person.

I know everyone on my facebook friends but one girl. The girl I don't know is one that I played lexulous with. It is a game basically like scrabble. We played a few times and she added me so that if we wanted to play again we could find each other. I don't add anyone to there that i don't know. The same goes for my myspace. I wanted to be able to post pictures of my kids for family members to see. So my profile is private as well as my pictures. That way only my friends can see them and i only accept friends that I know.

I know most of them, some people add you just because you have many friends in common. That is not a big deal, but people need to be careful who they are friends with on these sites. It is important to at least know the person who the person knows and it is not just a random person.

yeah i know about 95 percent of them personally, others are randoms. my myspace account is worse i have so many friends there and i do not know most of them but that is okay that is the thing about online communities right. i love interacting with bands and ppl i don't know too.

i have personally know about 50 of the friends on the facebook and rest 350 or so people are completely strangers to me.
i add randomly to increase my friends list so i can have more members in game i play like mafia wars.
Since i play mafia wars and always in need of more friends i add everyone who invites me and i invite everyone to play mafia.

Yes, I know all of my friends personally. I'm not all that Facebook savvy. How do you add people you don't even know??

Yes I know them all except the ones that are fans. Personally, however, is another story. Most are from my high school days with a few family members. So yes I know who they are but don't know much about their life anymore, but the staying in touch is great.

I not only know my friends personally on Facebook but a good majority of them have been friends of mine for decades LOL and of course I have family on there as well...there are only a few on my FB list that I've never actually met but know from online etc...
