call me slow but i just only found out that on facebook you have the option of being 'friends' with somebody but deleting/not viewing any of his or her photo/status updates on your summary page.

which is effectively giving him/her the impression that you have accepted him/her as a friend

but in reality you don't really want to know what he/she is actually doing.

that's so...

useful.

sad, but useful.

it disgusts me a little that i use this function,

(all the 'surfacey-surface' relationships i have with people,

and also those people who update their status way too much, bordering on the point of being annoying- 70% of your summary page is covered with their lame-o status updates? who wants to know if they've scored some points in some lame FB game, came up with some new cheesy quote, gone somewhere to eat or died anyway. ops, did i just say died? Well.)

but hell, kudos to the person who thought of it, man.
