I got a Facebook Beta account in 2003. I remember adding a lot of people I didn't even know. Of my entire Friends List, only about 1/4 of them were people I knew IRL. Back then, people just kinda added whoever in the same network. It really was about networking because you got to know more about that guy who sits across the lecture room in your Poli Sci class. At least that's how it was on my campus. They never had the option to keep your profile private, either -- just like MySpace.
Even to this day I use Facebook to network and MySpace to keep in touch with friends...the exact opposite of what you do.
I miss Facebook Beta. We didn't have to worry about shit like Applications then.  |
I agree with most of your sentiments, except that I enjoy the applications which I've added. (I just don't normally like anyone else's lol)
I was among those envious people who was mad that my school wasn't good enough for a facebook network at first lol
