What we know for sure about facebook (sample survey of peers and colleagues)
- In most cases the name is accurate
- Many people like receiving birthday wishes – birthdays are most likely accurate
- Profile pictures are going to either consist of:
- Self portrait
- Self portrait with friends – also insightful
- Favoured item/pet/location – also insightful
- Arbitrary image – reflective of persons personality
- Friends list is indicative of ‘who you are’. Pple are weary of those with ‘too many’, and take more seriously those with what is considered an ‘average’ amount
Additions welcome . . . .

I know I’m wary of people with “too many” friends. When someone I don’t know sends me a friend request I tend to always add them if we have a mutual friend and never add them if they have heaps of friends because I assume they make a habit of adding people they don’t know.
