Random facebook friends

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Random facebook friends

Post by ali baba »

I don't use facebook often but as I couldn't sleep tonight I ended up longing in. I had several friend requests from people I've never met, share no mutual acquaintances with and basically just don't know. In my entire facebook career I've had about a dozen of these.

I'm not in the least bit social and pretty much keep to myself so I'm curious bout this phenomenon and what the point is. I accepted a couple of random requests in the past to see what would happen and the people involved showed no interest in me. No messages or comments.

What's the deal?
Scarier than malaria.

I get about a dozen of those a week, seriously.

I weed through them and add anyone who seems interesting.

Are they Asian or what?

I feel so privileged! One day, when you and OD are millionaires, I'll show my grandchildren that we were once FB friends!

Looks like I need to do some pruning...
