"Friend" is the term facebook uses. It is quite common for acquaintances to be "friends" on facebook, just as it is common for acquaintances to know each other's emails and screen names.
It strange that you condemn facebook users for taking the situation too seriously when you obviously feel that it is serious enough to warrant an expletive ridden comment on this site. The fact that you are wasting your time providing your opinion on the issue proves that you too have some emotion vested in the topic.
And while we're on the subject, why is it that you care enough about the issue to bother throwing blanket insults at all the users of facebook? Is it really such a big deal that a bunch of "kids" who are involved in a network community- since that is what it is- have a problem with changes that have been made? It doesn't seem so preposterous in my opinion.
