i just went through my facebook “friends” and removed some people. it’s nothing personal, i just think that friend should mean something<\/em>… and maybe that something is that we’ve actually spoken in the past 10 years?<\/p>\n

“spoken” could even mean that we chat with instant messaging.<\/p>\n

spoken does not mean that we play status update racquetball on facebook.<\/p>\n

anyway, it’s not that i don’t care to see your updates, or hear your comments on my updates, it’s just simply too much. too much info. all of these technological tools that we have are great at hoarding information, but what are you going to do with it?<\/p>\n

or maybe we just need a new etiquette. for example, i post to facebook that i am making chicken soup. instead of receiving a bunch of “i love chicken soup” comments, perhaps i could receive a few great chicken soup recipies.<\/p>\n

giving me a bunch of great recipes obviously takes more work on your part, my friends. but that’s what friends are for.<\/p>\n

any person can tell me that they love soup. furthermore, any one can look up any recipe, ever. have you seen cooks.com<\/a>?<\/p>\n

but friends know that i love beans, lentils and other legumes. and friends give me the inside scoop on soups with beans.<\/p>\n

so in conclusion, if we’re going to be friends on facebook, you’d better be willing to give me some good recipes, and I will reciprocate, because I know that you love different types of cured meats.<\/p>\n

friends share recipes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
