WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS? Am I the only one who's frequently more than a little creeped out by the "friend suggestions" on Facebook and the extended network on LinkedIn? Sure, finding out that I'm two degrees away from both Barack Obama and Rudy Giuliani on LinkedIn via different people is kind of cool, and the "friend suggestion" tool can be useful on Facebook in letting me realize that folks I know are on it but I haven't connected with them yet. That said, it can be a little creepy to get suggested that you be Facebook friends with half of the Gawker Media staff and Arianna Huffington, which I get from time to time.
