facebook diplomacy 

"Facebook diplomacy" is so called because it is, like real diplomacy, the building and maintaining of relationships, except it is done with facebook instead of in person, over the phone, or using any other traditional means of communication. Facebook diplomacy usually consists mostly of exchanging wall posts with other people.

Unfortunately, given that the nature of facebook is devoid of meaningful substance, facebook diplomacy is often just useless banter and/or not thought out or cohesive. A person might have a lot of facebook diplomacy with an acquaintance that they don't really know, which will often boil down to an essence of nothing more than "what's up?"
College student: "Man, I've got eighteen new wall posts, I've got some serious facebook diplomacy to conduct."

College student: "That girl from class just friended me. She seems cool, I think I'll do some facebook diplomacy and get to know her a little."
