A Nerd and an Ancient Debate Facebook

Slate’s advice and technology columnists (Emily Yoffe and Farhad Manjoo) grapple this week on their cute “Manners for the Digital Age” mini-audio column over whether it’s OK to initiate a romantic relationship on Facebook. (Although, admittedly, there’s a lot of information the asker left out. “I love you, do you even like me at all?” as a wall posting would be kind of amazing.) The answer to the question on the left, by the way, is no, no matter what the poll results say. The answer to whether it’s OK to initiate some kind of romantic something on Facebook, though, is yes.
