Sorry, I can't post the first paragraph because I'm reading the article behind the big "please subscribe" sign
What I don't understand though is why people consider people they have never met to be "friends".

I think a lot of what he says is overblown. Kids communicate by a new means. Big deal.
Quite frankly, if a good-looking woman asks to befriend me on Facebook, I check our mutual friends, see how long she's been posting under that profile/name, and add her if I'm satisfied she's not a fake profile. I suspect a 16-year-old male would be less inquisitive, and just add his female peer, but then I'm not sure either is suddenly in some greater "danger".
The Proctor thing, well, quite frankly the guilty parties' use of social media and smartphones lead to their capture and conviction. I'm not at all sure it lead to her murder.

Facebook should add a few new categories. Instead of just friends, they should have:
Friends
Acquaintances
Friends of friends I'd fancy a romp in the sack with
Friends of friends who look like I could score a few joints or mushrooms off of.
Because we all know that's what most of those people with 300+ friends are thinking.
