friends vs contacts?

[mars1990]

What is the deference between "friends" and "contacts" on here? I cannot find out through searching and I'm sure the question has already been answered........I just can't find the thread or FAQ. Why would I want some one as contact but not friend? TIA for any help!

I would like to know too. :)

I'm gonna guess. Contacts are for you (private). Friends are listed on your page (public).

I added you as a contact to test my theory. When you add as a contact you have the option of adding them as a friend.

I might not want a person on my friends list because, they are super duper trader and I want to keep them all to myself.

So, it would seem everyone who visits your page can see your friends but your contacts ( AKA: those you wish to stalk! JK! ) don't even know they are beening watched!

Now it makes sense! Thanks for helping!
