The premise of the book is that most people would rather make friends than enemies, and that if you follow a few basic rules, you're less likely to make the kind of mistakes that will prevent you from making friends.

With the option of having an unlimited amount of friends, there is nothing really special about posting these messages for the public to view. Social networking websites not only hurt the idea of a real friendship as networkers often conclude what they think about someone just by viewing a page of information about them, but they pose many social problems and threats that are easy to encounter. One real problem that social networking websites have is that they give users the ability to manage their friends by importance by ranking them in numerical order. Rosen explains how “social networking sites also encourage the bureaucratization of friendship” as teenagers are now able to “manage their friendships” (233). The fact that teenagers can now manage friendships directly shows how these networking sites ignore real friendship.
