Now, don't get me wrong; I love to e-creep as much (or more) as the next person. I could lose myself in the Facebook mega-matrix of interconnected profiles and networks and on and on and on. I
have lost myself in the Facebook mega-matrix of interconnected profiles and on and on and on and on. I know people who have joined random networks for the sole purpose of creeping on people within those networks (I promise I haven't gone that far...yet). That's the appeal of the internet as far as I'm concerned: to snoop into other people's business, be it celebrities or people you saw at a party the night before.
BUT
HERE IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE:
when Facebook TELLS ME WHO TO CREEP. Okay, so, I "May Know" those people. I may have gone to high school with them or worked with them once 102493 years ago or I may have gone to high school with their third-last ex-girlfriend (real example) but that does not mean I am interested in their Facebook; If I was I'd have creeped it already.
I've been getting a lot more random friend-requests in the past week and I
KNOW it's because of this crazy new feature. To those people I ask: doesn't requesting my friendship defeat the purpose of creeping?

It depends on your privacy setting. If they can't see your profile then they NEED to add you in order to get their creep on.
I looked at the same feature today and it was like a checklist of people I purposely have not and will not add.
If my privacy setting hates them they should just give up.
and YES that's another point I forgot to touch on, I have purposely passed over these people in my friend-adding because well, probably they suck.
i hate friend requests from people i don't really want to be friends with. and, for some reason, i always feel bad about not adding them back and i add them, even if i despise them. i think i need to go through my friends and get rid of some people and just not worry about it, because most likely i'm never going to see those people again anyway!

hahaha, this is so true. this morning as i accepted friend requests i thought "usually when i do this i want to see their profile, but i don't really care".
Melissa: I too need to do a mass clean-up of lameness from my Facebook haha
Dana: I have a few people just sitting in my "friend requests" section because I have no idea what to do with them...
Dr Facebook,
Ahhh so THAT'S what all the rando friend requests are about! I thought it had something to do with my alias name. There's a lot of kooky Lux fans out there, you know. I really want to delete facebook because I think it would make me cooler, but I'm not cool enough to do it! Eep!
