While I created my facebook account back in 2008, it was only around April or May of last year that I decided to reactivate my facebook account. It was primarily to get back in contact with Rick & Bryan since they left myspace. Since that time, I have added 7 other people to my friends list, including a guy named Jeremy from Kenosha Wisconsin (some I've had contact with on a couple of radio messageboards), & a double profile under Cattle Call & Call Bar (same establishment). I even added myself to many fanpages (and probably not done adding those). Now since I rejoined facebook, I've been super cautious about who I let onto my friends list. Since facebook mandates our real name to be displayed, I'm not allowing just anyone to be added. Most of the requests I get are from people who use the mutual friend option. So far, 1 has been referred from Carl & the rest have been from Cattle Call/Call Bar. While I'm not totally against this; I don't know any of the people who are asking to be added to my friends list. So please don't be offended if I don't accept the friends request. I'm more inclined on myspace since I don't have my real name displayed, and isn't required. I also have my myspace profile mostly public. My facebook profile however will be private with a couple of areas of my profile only open to people I actually know, and want that info. That would be how to contact me outside of facebook. I don't make my friends list public or any other information.
So for those who request me to add you would require for me to meet you in person first (in most cases). The exception to that is if the profile is to a business or organization. That would be places like a restaurant that I might consider patronizing, a bar (did that with Cattle Call/Call Bar, though the other way around), an organization (did that with Polonia Milwaukee (though I actually made the request, & while I'm not Polish, I do show interest in Polish people, food, & culture), & may consider a local TV or radio celebrity who has a regular profile & not a fan page. Family members are severely restricted to my friends list as I'm already considered controversial to some family members. That means my sister, niece, my sister's soon-to-be ex-boyfriend, uncles, aunts, & cousins aren't easily being added. I've got a number of Chicago celebrities I dislike so much & former co-workers on my block list (not mentioning any names on this one). So those users can not view my profile at all or find me in a search on facebook when logged into their accounts. I also have it set to keep my profile from being found through the popular search engines, such as Google & Yahoo.
This has already been posted to my facebook profile and is private there, but it's public here.
