I will agree that your “people you may know” tool has probably helped some old friends find me. Kudos to you for that.
But, it does two other things that I find completely frustrating.
1. Suggest people that I do not know at all. Yeah, I know it’s called people you “may” know, but still, I don’t care if we DO have 3 mutual friends, I still don’t know them. Maybe we went to a party together once and met the same 3 people that we came home and facebook friend-ed and then forgot about. Maybe you are a friend of that random person that shared an umbrella with me that one time, because it randomly started pouring. Maybe you are friends with that girl that I sometimes shared a swimming lane with at the pool. Maybe we glared at each other over the last parking spot anywhere close to campus. I don’t know, because I don’t know you.
2. It keeps suggestsing THE most annoying people that I ever met in my life, and want NO contact with, even facebook contact. The girl that was in my high school Spanish class who constantly made me want to grind my teeth everyday? Don’t need her posting things on my wall. My ex boyfriend? Yeah, that didn’t end so well, we probably don’t need to be facebook friends. (Actually, I will confess that I am friends with people I’ve dated previously on facebook. Proof that we all can get along.) Worse than that, please don’t suggest D’s ex-girlfriend as a friend for me, what are we going to talk about? How I WIN and she LOSES? (Uh, I’m not competitive at all, I promise.) Maybe you can suggest her as a friend for my ex-boyfriend. That might work out well. (They can talk about how they LOSE and D and I WIN.)
Anyhoo, facebook, if you could just quit showing me that crap, I’m sure we could be the best of friends again.
