The people who matter would know because they are involved in your life. Everyone else is just someone you used to know. Let's not up and change the definition of 'friend' to someone you haven't seen or spoken to personally in years but resides in your FB friends list.


My definition of friendship includes people I haven't interacted with in years, and that definition long predates my involvement with Facebook.

Most of my friends aren't actually "friends" on Facebook.

Anyway, it's clear that people are thinking I'm an advocate for the Facebook definition of friendship, which is in no way what I wrote, but whatever.
