The “Facebook World” is quite different from the real world and a good example is “thank you“. In the real world you would never thank someone for being your friend because it’s sounds a bit … desperate yet in the Facebook world I’ve been thanked (think it’s a word) many a time. It’s not as if being a Facebook friend requires any real commitment anyway while being a friend in the real world surely does. Yet for some reason we thank people for friending (it’s a world somewhere) us on Facebook while we often forget to thank our friends in the real world. Seems a bit sad don’t you think?
