Rethinking my Facebook friend acceptance policy

My Facebook-friend-acceptance policy is this.
Actually more restricted than that. If I don't share my personal detail with you in real life, I don't want to share it with you on Facebook.

The Facebook data team recently published this study which basically tells that if you want to receive interesting diverse news from your social network you should add people you hardly talk to. People with whom we have strong ties are similar minded, so they share things that we'd have shared. If you social network only contains similar minded people it'd become an "echo chamber." The more diverse your network is the more diverse and novel information you'd get from it.

I find the study very interesting. People with weak ties are good for getting interesting information, but if I have too many of them then I'd have to add extra privacy settings on my photo albums and status updates or be extra cautious about things I share. I'm not sure if people use facebook for getting news, it's an added benefit. News or no news, with my friends literally staying all over the world, I'd use Facebook anyway.

Surprisingly, all my worst days are actually my best days in disguise.

Day `haven't-count-for-a-while:' Congratulations! You Won!

All the emails congratulate me, turn out to be spam.
I love you spammers, you keep me going.

Some days are so b e a u t i f u l
that they make all the other days worth living! :D

Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
