So if we are just talking about the hangouts app then that means nothing really
I agree, but that was your original claim. Perhaps now you understand why we thought it was dumb.
I don't see how that helps xmpp be a standard.
Well, I'm tired of explaining words to you.
Do you want to add random FE people to your personal friends list.
Yup, done it many times, loads of people here have me on FB.
Is this something anyone wants to do.
Yes.
Like I said earlier when I brought up fb. People treat it like a silo. They are choosy about their friend lists.
And like
I said before, and as is usually the case with your random allegations about what people do on Facebook, you do not actually know how people use Facebook. Don't speak for everyone just because you're one of those old guys who are afraid to add more than 200 people to your list.
