Moving to to new city can be tough.

While you’re pulling an early led in the rat race and leavng those “real people” with lives in your dust, it leaves you wondering–while you’re living the dream, are other people living it up?

I’ve been asking this question a lot since moving to Boston to work at FOX 25 news. I lovemy work. I love the city. I’m terrified I won’t be able to build a social life (at least a little one.)

There are a tone of tips and tricks out here, but soes anyone really use them? All of the webliture sounds like summer camp trust building exercises and I hated those as a kid.

If youre older and wiser (and hopefully more interesting)…shouldn’t it be easier to ask the question–will you be my friend?

And speaking of friends…TechCruch posted this thought provoker–

Study: You’ve Never Met 7% Of Your Facebook “Friends”

A just-released Pew study on the ways people use social networking sites has found, unsurprisingly, that the most popular social network is Facebook, with 92% of social networking users reporting that they have a Facebook account.

The study also found that on average Facebook users have about 229 Friends, with about 22% of their total Friends list being comprised of people they know from high school, 12% extended family, 10% coworkers, 9% college friends, 8% immediate family, 7% people from extracurricular groups and 2% being neighbors.

According to Pew, the average Facebook user has never met 7% of their Facebook “Friends” in real life, which means that on average about 16 people on a given Facebook Friends list are actually more like strangers. Users on average have only met 3% of their list (around 7 people) just once.

These numbers seem about right: A quick scroll down my Facebook Friends list reveals a smattering of people I’ve just added because I know “of” them and a few people I’ve added who I’ve met once at a conference. These not-quite friends Facebook Friends serve as reminders that Facebook should make it easier to mass “un-Friend.”

Either that or come up with a different word for the relationship.
