People are actually trying to make this a word.. and others are trying to say that it is the act of gathering intelligence on your friends through social networks.  Perhaps a look at the way it is spelled might show a lack of intelligence in the latter group.

It’s obviously a combination of friend and diligence! And no, I don’t think it should become a word!
