A good idea if you want your personal relationships poisoned.

not how it works for me! i have friends on fb that i haven't talked to or seen since high school. i don't use fb proper but it's good to know that it remembers everyone so i don't have to. i guess it goes the other around as well.

There is something wrong with this for me.. If you don't remember people, are they really worth kepeing around ?

It is a great way to reach someone you want to get in touch with after a really long time, but that scenario is far more rare than people claim when they speak of the 'magic of facebook'.

How in the world are you ever going to know if you never contact them again?

:) I guess I just keep a select group of friends that I want to be with. What I don't know wont kill me and all that, but fair enough. Each to their own !

It's not that rare. I met some friends in middle school about 10 years ago. When I move to the US, FB is the place to connect them again because we keep FB connections. A lit of people around is also in the same situation. Like the above comment, you never know.

Doesn't make it a less toxic place in any meaning. If somebody is such a diva they have an active presence on Twitter, there are almost always other means to connect.
