					<description>chanced upon this from a google search about facebook polls. what a great insight and probably something that most of us are thinking about these sites. its impossible to have depp meaningful friendships with huge numbers of people.

some definitiosn of friends appear below.:
a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.

interestingly not many of my actual true day-in-day-out friends actually join facebook. i send em a link and they scoff, but guess what they actually talk about it when we meet all the time. true friends

all the best</description>

					<description>Think of that - you've got 26 Facebook friends and your own girlfriend ain't one of 'em! Tsk tsk, etc. Actually it's probably a good thing because if my activity showed up on your newsfeed you would have incontrovertible evidence that I do, in fact, spend literally all day fighting with American teenagers on the internet.</description>

					<description>I am a useless sod, I agree. Don't know about flood waters yet - but there are very high and I'm 50/50 whether my flat's under water.

Reading, beer, soon?

					<description>Hey Luce - I'm in Brussels at the mo - so don't know about flat.

I will call soon as I'm back in the UK and have had some sleep. Promise. Hope you're well.

					<description>I agree - you're shocking at staying in touch!  How are you?  Did the flood waters get anywhere near your flat?

					<description>I am also planning a cull. It was fun when I only had my actual friends on it, but not it is starting to get unwieldy. Ah, but what is the etiquette of making someone not your facebook friend anymore...?

Absolutely know what you mean about the whole kidding yourself that you are in touch still thing. I am also crap at that. When did we last speak, f'rinstance...

How's the flood, btw?
