There are lots of ways to find friends. One is to use the "e-mail friend finder", which will search your e-mail contacts for people who are on facebook. Or you can search for people in certain schools, etc. Another thing you can do is look for "groups" that might have people you know in them. Some churches and clubs have groups, for example. Once you have some friends, look at their friends. Chances are you'll know some of them, and you can start building up a network of friends.
