Dear Readers of the blog & Followers in Twitter,
I love you a lot and appreciate the fact that you take time out to read the crap I write, I really do but I have certain requests to make of you when you send me a FB friend request
- Following me on twitter doesn’t I repeat doesn’t qualify as being a FB friend. Similarly your commenting on my blog once or mine on your blog once doesn’t qualify as being a FB friend
- So you have a pseudo name using which you blog, I get it and I respect it but if you create a FB id using that name and want to add me sorry I won’t. If you are not comfortable revealing your identity its only fair that you don’t peek into mine and my friends life isn’t it? If you want your blog to have a FB identity please create a page for yourself and I promise to like it. I promise
- Again for people using pseudo names would you please please identify yourself when you send me a FB request? I mean I really don’t have any magical powers to deduce that a person who has added me is XYZ in blog world. In the first place the only way I get that you are from blogworld is by the fact that we have bloggers as common friend but please please please be kind to me and identify yourself
- Yes we have 25 common friends (may be more) and yes they are all bloggers but do I know you? Do u know me? Can you just for a second think that before adding me? Please it would do save me and you a lot of embarrassment
- And last but not the least if I have ignored you once please sending me a friend request again will not make me accept it, there was a reason I rejected it in the first place anyways right?
Yours Truly,
Monika
Now people don’t get me wrong and label me as a snob after this post, I do understand that people like us who choose to spend their life online have to make some sacrifices somewhere but at the same time I think we are all mature enough to understand the difference between the three mediums – Blog, Twitter and FB. Blog and Twitter are online presence open to all we chose what we put there, its about sharing ones thoughts and opinions whereas FB gets very personal its about sharing your life, the pictures and the lives of your friends.
So please folks lets understand these differences and respect them
Agree 100%. somehow i too am amused with this whole thing about adding friends randomly on FB. I guess its just a number game. A kind of show off that i have so many friends or i know so many ppl and see how popular i am.
Can i say a big big “DITTO” in capital letter, bold and font size 42!!
I absolutely love this post Monu. Mirrors my thoughts exactly! 😀
I have been screaming this all my life online!!! can’t agree with you more…I have a strict line of who I add on FB, and while I have a lot of blog friends on FB, its those with whom I am co mfortable sharing more of my personal life and the relationship has gone beyond blogging.
ROFL!!! 🙂
LOL! Good one Monika
Sooo sooo agree with u! I deleted all pseudo accounts on my list too, bcoz I just dnt want ppl to know who I am bcoz they are on my list. And I do know friends will understand that 🙂
LOL!! 😀 Good one and so very apt!! 🙂
Haanji bilkul theek kaha aapne
Ps. I had to go and check if my fb was under my name pheweee he he he
Nice one
Good post ! Good points!
*nodding all the way*
hahahahaha…some time we really have to spell it out to make people understand no?? 😀 😀 😀
Atta gurl! You said it :D!
You got that totally right! Though I am really not very active on FB..I would rather have my known close friends on that…
Clap! Clap!!! I utterly dislike it when random bloggers send me friend requests. Just because we have friends in common does not mean I have to open up my life to you!! Very well said, Mon. I’m in the mood to go delete people off my friends list now 😉
😥 I hope you would still like to see that Jimmy Choo’s on that sexy leg in your friends list…dontcha? 😉
Agree with everythhing you wrote. I actually went and deleted random relatives who added.:)
Ha ha ha….you have just taken the words from my mouth! Kudos!!! 😀
My husband ‘de’friended me on FB. Because he has arbit people on his FB account and didn’t want personal stuff to get to them! These lines between Linkedin (a professional social network!) and FB are blurring so much that I am left blinking. Why would anyone send a request? Isn’t it only for friends one has met and known face to face? Or bloggers with some relationship/sharing?
Phew am glad that I send you my photo before trying to get into your FB
I totally agree with everything you wrote. It’s really frustrating when you politely reply to a FB request stating you are sorry to reject the request as you add only friends you know and then you get a rude reply back saying how come then many bloggers are already there on your list? 😡
Agree 200% to what u wrote here….. 🙂
Can I copy, paste and use the same, Monu ???? Sometimes, its irritating to get such weird requests !!!!
