As for the column idea, I was thinking of "Professional socialite or
desperate attention seeker?" where I chronicle my journey through the
Auckland social scene in a noble quest to find a new friend every week.
E.g:

Talk to people on public transport / on the street
Talk to retail / café staff
Gatecrash a corporate event
Gatecrash a random party down the road
Stalk down random events on Facebook
Intrude on a couple having dinner
Knock on neighbours' doors
Greet international arrivals at the airport
Talk to the elderly at a resthome
Text a random number
Ring someone up from the white pages, or write them a letter
Stalk a radio / tv personality until they agree to have coffee
Ask out a local politician (Helen??)
Ask a lecturer out
Go to sports / church / movies / volunteer / the markets etc (getting
desperate now)

Sounds like an excellent idea - perhaps we could call it 'Add Me', with
the goal of acquiring 1000 friends on Facebook? Somehow that makes it
sound all the more cringe-inducing, with you telemarketing your Facebook
page to random strangers over the phone/at church/on talkback radio.
Especially if you have to explain what Facebook is to them...

Haha I like the name and the goal sounds good too. Might have to start next week.
