How do you add friends in facebook?

I only add friends that I have encountered and known in my life. For those that I don't know, I block them. I don't want my personal information and pictures be revealed to them. It's too risky. We may never know what they'll do with it.

On my Facebook, I only add people I know like my old friends, current friends, family members, co-workers and only people I know. I don't like to meet people I don't know on the internet because it is unsafe.

I always think twice before adding or accepting a friend request on facebook. I always use the picture as a reference. If I don't recognize the name and the picture. Sorry, I do not hesitate in pressing the ignore button.

i accept them because I don't want to be a snob but i never start a conversation with them. I do reply though when they write me and when they start to ask where i am or we could meet I brush them up.

Will for me I add a lots of friends in facebook, even though are not known to me but First I read their information because I only add to the person with the same my religion keep the most to our pastors. because for me its good to connect with my brothers and sisters around the world.But always careful of adding friends on facebook.

When I hve joined facebook I started to play with the games (maffia war, etc.) and to collect people to my "maffia" I have added a lot of people as friends. Nowdays I am bored with the games and majority of my new friends are those from the real life. But I didnt regret to have so many "friends" (I have 2000+ recently). When I created a fanpage to my photoblog I invited all my "friends" and majority of them joined and liked it. So such way facebook became a cool channel for me.

I have 800+ friends on facebook and of course are only people i know. People i know from schoo, univercity, work and enerythig else i have done in my life. Of course the number isnt increasing fast by now because most of them are already my friends.

I have over 400 friends in Facebook. These are my grade school friends, high school friends, college friends, friends from various organizations I'm in,and relatives. I do have lots of "friends" on Facebook and I know them all. But still, I don't disclose personal information like my address, mobile number and whereabouts. I keep details of my profile private.

Will for me I add a lots of friends in facebook even though I didn't know them but I choice only people with the same my religion because its nice to connect my brothers and sisters most specially my Pastors around the world, and before I add the person I read carefully their info, and I never give my home address..

I agree with you. We should consider our safety first before trying to be the most friendly person on Facebook and accept all our friend requests. Unfortunate as it seems, online sites especially social networking sites have been used by some people for their criminal or unlawful acts or ways. It's already a fact, it has been reported by several news programs. Social networking sites can't control the people who joins and abuse their site, even law enforcers. Having an account on these sites such as Facebook poses a great risk of encountering one these bad people. We can, however, avoid such people and be more safe in using networking sites. We can do this by only accepting friend requests from people who we really know, those who we really have met. We should modify or edit our privacy settings as well, so that only our friends get to see our personal information. We should also be careful in giving our personal details to everyone even if they say we have mutual friends or they're related with someone whom we know, we should check it first. It's important to be cautious, informed, and sensible when dealing with people online to avoid becoming a victim of crime and injustice. =)

Your absolutely correct. I would never add someone I don't know in real life. You never know if it could be some kind of stalker or internet predator. You never know who a person is if they are behind the computer screen.

I only add someone I know. if now, they're SPAM :D
