Are we amassing contacts at the expense of genuine friendships, what do you think?

[cyprusgeoff]

Yes I'm afraid so.

[Svetlana]

Yes, sadly I substitute this for real friendships

Not me!

I only have a few close friends as contacts... some oif the people that ask to be my friend on Facebook have hundreds tho...

Anybody else here hate Facebook as much as I do? I reluctantly joined after receiving invitations, and was immediately repelled by the flurry of virtual "gifts" and pesterings to join various causes. Now I never enter it except on the rare occasions someone scribbles on my wall. That seldom happens, as I've made it clear I can't stand the site.

You're right - utter shite.

I can't stand facebook, don't use it and don't want to.

I was reading an article stating that if you smile Facebook smiles with you - frown and you're all alone.

I don't do any "social networking" on the Internet apart from e-mailing long-standing friends.

Cyprus Forum has put me in touch with a few like-minded individuals (concerned for Cyprus' future) whom I hope to get to know better over the coming years. No hurry ...

Generally, I take my time getting to know people, but I like to hang on to those who start to matter .... even if we sometimes lose touch for months/years.
