Sending a friend request just by a judging a photo or by finding the person in the mutual friend list and often even by not judging at all seems weird to me. In the social networking sites, the number of friends found in some profile just shocks me. I wander how can one have that much of friends! What I have found is you can make a web of friends using such site soon but any one can point a finger at the strength of such webs. Such web of friends lack strength because it is not a web of friends but strangers. When you are in a trouble your true friend comes to the rescue not strangers, so the network of friends that is found to expand in an inappropriate way actually degrades the noble meaning of a friend, a friendship. I think it is one sort of disrespect to the word friend. The profiles have their privacy hyped, therefore before you knock one with a friend request you hardly come to know in detail about the particular. Standing on air the request is sent and the jackpot is when it gets accepted ! We are ultra-positive, we accept one's request to be a friend or send one without really knowing the things required to know to start a friendship. In this way we all have entered the world of virtual friendship. Now we are infact buliding the so called relation of friendship with alliens. The value, the flavor has all degraded in the course of evolution of the virtual world of web and the reign of virtual friendship has begin since social networking sites have come into existence. With the hope of return of the old true fiendship today I am taking my fingers off from the keyboard.
