Quote - To me, it seems facebook is meant for people who already have friends....

to me, it seems thats banks only make loans to people who already have money.  maybe principal is same.

But on serious, I just joined the facesbook recently so I could track progress of new Miki 3 character.

To do this I become friend of "Miki Smith" (their joke, she is child from Smith Micro), and many people who are also "her" friend send me friend request, because maybe we have something in common.  After all, things in common is basis for friendship.

Of course, many of peoples were ones from here only using their reasonable name and nots forum name.

Maybe is sound silly being friend of 3D character, but is interesting so maybe you can try this.
