Re: I suppose they mean Facebook friends, not friends, actual friends.
Erm, how has this turned into an attack on Facebook?
The article says that you hand out a referral code. It could be to a Facebook friend, it could be to the bloke that works in the petrol station, it could be to that woman two doors down who found out that you work with computers and now brings her Packard Bell laptop round every time it gets an error message.
Sheesh, I get nobody likes Facebook, but this isn't their fault.
