If you want to see how close you and a friend or family member are connected to each other, you can view a new Facebook Friendship page that will display posts, photos, and events that you both have shared. It’s even better if you are "in a relationship" with that someone. Things that you can view in a Friendship page include:

• Timeline posts you’ve exchanged
• Mutual friends
• Events you both attended
• Photos you’re tagged in,
• What you like on Facebook.

I have used Ray Wagner, my friend on Facebook since April, as an example page.

If you want to view a Friendship page, first log into your Facebook account, go to a friend’s profile, click on the settings icon, and click “See Friendship”. (You can also click on your friends list and use the link under each friend). 

Facebook says that what you will see depends on your friend’s privacy settings. Once you’ve viewed a Friendship page, you have the option of sharing it with others on your Timeline.

Maybe these changes will help you feel more connected online, or help you choose who to kick off your list. Either way, it is a new change to Facebook that seems to be a universal benefit, and not a creepy change that will tick everyone off.
