Love it or hate it, Facebook is in fact a great way to connect with people from your past: The good ones, the bad ones, and those who probably never made it out of high school. Case in point the message I received this morning (below). Please pay special attention to the quality of grammar, word choice and spelling–they were my favorite parts of the message.
“hey sweetie

Awesome, right? In attempts to minimize unwanted encounters like this I recently decided to open a second Facebook page that I reserve exclusively for close friends and family. Whenever adding someone or confirming a friend on this second Facebook page I ask myself “Would I want this person at my wedding?”. If the answer is yes, then I add them right away. If the answer is “no” then I decline.
