<p>I think we should all add each other as friends (so that we can have friends from different schools on our profile.)</p>
<p>Anyone interested?</p>
<p>don't you have friends from home that go to different schools?</p>
<p>Why? We don't even know you.</p>
<p>i dont friend people i dont know in real life...facebook is not myspace</p>
<p>No offense, but that is seriously a sketch request. As in, shady and irresponsible to respond to.</p>
<p>This messageboard is public, anyone from anywhere with any intent could read. Say someone decides to answer your request and makes a post saying her name is Sally Jones and that she goes to Vasser. Now anyone on the board can see there is some girl named Sally Jones at Vasser. They can read Sally's other Collegeboard posts and see what year she is, perhaps what classes she will be taking next semester, where her hometown is, what her age is. </p>
<p>If the reader has a Facebook account, then they can actually look up and "friend" Sally Jones, like you suggested. Which means they will in all likelihood then have access to when her exact birthdate is, what dorm or even room she's in, who her roommate is, who her friends are, what high school she went to, what her interests are, what her friends say about her (from her wall) etc. </p>
<p>And the very big one... with Facebook now they've got her picture. They could know what she freaking looks like, and what her friends look like, thanks to the nifty Photo Album feature on Facebook (which, by the way, you do not need to be friends with a person or even go to the same school with them to see their photos, and in essence their friends' and family members' photos). It is SO dangerous.</p>
<p>It sounds lame, but Facebook can be dangerous. I mean, if you let random people friend you and you randomly friend people you're putting yourself in a bad position. I'm not saying people will end up dead, but it's just too easy for people with the wrong intent to find out all sorts of things about you.</p>
<p>So, to get to the point: no. No one should really, in good conscience, answer this guy's request to all become "Facebook friends."</p>
<p>uhhh, you definitely cannot look at other photos of people who are not your friends at other schools.</p>
<p>Several of us did this last year with no problem. You can look at anyone's picture on the facebook, no matter what school they go to. You can only read their profile information if you are that person's friend, or if you go to their school. The person whose account that it is, only puts up what they want other people to see. Their is no mandatory information to put up at all. People put up as much or as little as they are comfortable with. You can even edit your profile to have only your friends see it. The facebook is very safe. I personally approve anyone who requests it. You would be surprised how many people are very open about their lives on the facebook. The residence hall directors at some colleges were going into some of the underage drinking groups and busting people like that. Kinda funny really.</p>

</p>
<p>yea you can. Try clicking on the "photos" in the captions in your friends pictures of people who go to different schools.</p>
<p>I have some CC posters from last year as myspace friends. And some people from another website with a fairly small group of users.</p>
<p>i stand corrected</p>
<p>You can tell that some people on Facebook are trying to look popular by adding as many friends as possible to their list. It's quite sad. No way you keep up with 300 friends. I call ******** on that. :P</p>
<p>some people have fake people on their friends list too, such as Jon Stewart, Bush, Reagan, Beer Pong, Jack Daniels, Frodo, etc</p>
<p>hey you have to do something instead of writing your essays right? Not everyone can waste time on CC.</p>
<p>.... like 8 people with the same last name as my friended me in the last week. One of their wall's was full of comments from people with the same last name.</p>
<p>What is facebook exactly? Myspace for college students?</p>
<p>A clarification on the facebook photo issue...when you upload your own albums to photos you can choose to only have the photos available to friends, friends and your college, or everyone. You also have control over whether you are tagged in any photo (even the ones you do not post yourself.</p>
<p>Ok, should I post the link to my facebook profile then and then whoever wants to can "facebook" me?</p>
<p>periodic...go ahead</p>
