Question For Today: How Do You Choose Your Online Friends?

My Flickr contacts (with notes)

Following up on my Blogs VS Social Networks discussion, I ask you: How do you choose your online friends? Do you check out their profiles, get to know them a little and only then make them a connection, or do you automatically add anyone just by looking at their pic?

Thanks to Trinity for this pic.

  • u won’t know through pics or profiles….
    everything will reveal through time
    i would say that it is not a process of selecting…
    but instead a process of screening..

  • For me, it depends on the Social Network. MySpace has become a place to click and move. FaceBook is more refined and tight knit. On Twitter, I look for people that are putting out interesting information, people that are looking for what I have to offer, or people offering what I am looking for.

  • I agree. I suppose you look for something a little different in every social network you enter.

  • Face may be the index of the person but no, I need to know someone more deeply to be a friend and trust my inside with. Social networking sites may be hunting bars at best.

  • Most of the time I take a look at the blog if it has an appealing name and if the picture isn’t an obvious fake.

    When I like the blog content I leave comments and judging by the kind of reply I get, I will add a blog.

  • Hi Bob:
    I agree. Content is key when choosing friends. Are you talking about adding people to your blog roll or just adding them as contacts?
