Friends online, off-line
Dan Tynan (2008), a self-acclaimed expert on technology, contends in the article, "The etiquette of social networking: How to make friends online without alienating anybody," that friends on Facebook may not be exactly whom they claim to be. Tynan relates information regarding: "How to approach strangers online, handle unwelcome solicitations, or make real friends out of virtual ones" (Tynan, ¶ 1). Some individuals on Facebook only invite people they know well. Some invite people they know little about, while some invite strangers to become their friends online. Facebook automatically suggests people one might know as "friends," based on individuals already in their network. In general, friends make better connections when some kind of link exists to the person; when a valid reason exists for making the "friend" connection. Section 5: Method
