Ok, so I got some awesome responses from great people yesterday on the friending frenzy, and now that people have gone on there and chatted a bit, it's worth going back to here (LJ) and here(DW) and seeing whether anyone there takes your fancy.

Personally, if someone looks interesting to me I just add them. If they have a post at the top of their journal asking for introductions then I say hi (or respond to a comment if we've been chatting), but I've never had anyone tell me they'd rather not be friended. So get out there and make friends!
