Considering that Picone and I chat a few times a week, it's much easier to share information and get feedback if you're friends with one another. We also have an EWCP Facebook group that we use for collaboration, but it can get a bit cluttered when you're looking for a response from specific person.

Is it necessary to friend someone? Probably not, though it does make communicating a bit easier.

Also, on the subject of Facebook, depending on how savvy you are with the privacy settings you can make things as public or private as you want. If you were to create a group in your friends list called 'robotics students', 'work friends', 'family', etc you can target and block specific information with a few extra clicks.
