The author states that she adds anyone she has met, then seems off-put that her Facebook feed is full of people and information she doesn't care about. Perhaps she needs to learn to group people. Or just not accept all friendship requests.
What I find strangely absent in public discourse on the subject is that it's still unusual to actually meet people via social technology. I'm not talking about adding people to your Mafia Wars crew, but actually using Facebook as a tool to meet people more compatible than you are ever likely to stumble across in real life.
We nervously broach the subject of online dating, but across-the-board real-world socializing via technology seems to be virtually nonexistent.
