Cold Friending 

A tactic for meeting new people on social networks, e.g., friending someone you found while perusing a mutual friend’s profile, or following someone on a social network without actually knowing them; cold friending is our generation’s version of cold calling for business.
I was just surfing around cold friending people on Facebook and now I'm going to do a project with a couple of the people I connected with.

Force-friending

Drive By Friending 

When someone you haven't spoken to in years sends you a friend request on Facebook, but doesn't bother to ever say "hello" or ask how you've been. When someone friend requests you on Facebook clearly only to increase their number of friends, and then there is no further contact.
"Man, this chick I went to high school with totally just did a drive by friending on me. She could at least say hi."
