Lindsay/Jay - Final Project

Questions:
1. How many facebook friends do you have?
We asked this question as a basis for the other qualitative questions that were brought up.

2. Do you have any friends that you have not met in person? If so, how many?
The prevalence of "e-friends" is increasing, and it is possible to be friends with someone that you don't necessarily know IRL (in real life), but we were curious as to the explanations of why people might add someone random, like Andrew Carnegy for instance.

3. How many people on your friends list have you only met once?
Facebook, and the Internet itself for that matter, facilitates relationships without the need for physical proximity. Many times, particularly in college, we might meet someone at a party or through another friend, and even though you might not become best of friends with them on this first encounter, you might want to get to know them better. Then the question of "when is it acceptable to add someone on facebook?" comes into play.

4. How many people on your friends list do you see less than once annually?
Similarly to the previous question, it's possible to have friends (maybe from high school or grade school) that you barely ever see at all but still want to stay in contact with.

5. How many friends do you have from the school you currently attend? Does this network have the largest amount of your friends in it?
We used this to create a ratio of how many people out of the total amount of friends were in their "main network", to see if the majority of their facebook friends came from the people that they interacted with on a daily basis.

6. What network has the second most amount of friends?
Generally, for people in college, this network tended to be their high school. It could also have been a regional network, as that overlaps with school networks.

7. Do you have any relatives on facebook?
This related to the idea of how we view facebook as a connection with our peers, and also our privacy (e.g. if our parents are on facebook, do we have them on the limited profile list?)

8. Do you friend everyone that requests you, even if you don't know them?
This question was asked to gauge responses to the Andrew Carnegy experiment.

9. How do you qualify someone who is "a facebook friend" v. "a real friend"?
This was our only qualitative question, and was asked because we wanted quotes about how we perceive e-friendships, and what the criteria must be met in order to be a real friend, or if one is even better than the other.

10. Do you have any friends that you met THROUGH facebook and not in real life?
We wanted to see how facebook/the internet actually facilitates real-life relationships on its own, without ever actually requiring two people to meet each other in person.
