Making Friends on Facebook

I’ve been trying to make friends on Facebook. It’s not easy. Some friend requests that I send out seem to work with one click, others invite me to add a message, still others pop-up with a warning: “Are you sure you know this person?” and others, including Nathan Bransford, say: “This request could not be sent”.

Facebook seems determined to corral me among people that I shared a school or college with, or co-workers. This knocks my idea of social networking into a cocked hat. I am looking to make friendships on a much wider basis than that.

Following people on Twitter is a lot easier (although gathering followers isn’t).

Can I ask anyone who reads this post who has a Facebook account to send me a friend request. My Facebook account is

On Twitter I’m @jjtoner_YA

Thanks.
