    I created two Profiles on Friendster and the only Friends on either profile is the othr profile of myself.
    Sad part is that I don't even really like myself.

    exactly

    and its a time waster... the more friends you have, the more stupid shit you get in your news feed... like pictures of the hot girl from HS that got incredibly fat... who doesn't enjoy that? :lol:

    no idea. I just broke 200 after about 2 years (granted, I was relatively late to facebook). But almost everyone I know I added when I first joined, and now it's just scattered people I meet here and there, so I don't know how people get up to those high numbers.

    If I had a Facebook account I could alienate more people than just the limited audience here....hmmmm....

    I'd say you have 4 friends too many.

    I have no idea how many I have, I don't really go on there, but every once in a while I'll get a friend request and I either accept it or ignore it

    I don't know why I bother, since I don't use it to socialize or network for that matter
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Because you can't get enough but you don't want to admit it here, cause we all look down on people who spend too much time on the internet.

    I have about 250 friends now....and possibly about 100 of them are PJ 'friends'.

    I generally say no to people from school, ex-work mates etc adding me because I don't want any of them knowing what the fuck I'm doing....there's a reason why I am no longer in contact with them....but for people I don't really know like PJ friends etc who normally find me because 60 of their friends are friends with me, I don't give a shit what they know. I find it interesting looking at all their tour photos, plans etc etc too.
    And i am just the opposite - I have no desire to "friend" most people here because, well, we're not really friends. We all use handles when referring to each other and have never met most.

    I have just recently set up a FB account and really want to keep it to just those i really am actual friends with. Those who's real name I know and interact with mostly in person. There is maybe one exception to that rule, and she knows who she is.

    I had a lot of Message Pit folks on my MySpace account - and I would go through it and have no clue who have of them were.

    Actual friends and family only on FB for me.

    Thats another vow I made with facebook. When I had myspace, I had a lot of "Pearl Jam" friends. With facebook I will ONLY add people I've met and know, family, friends and coworkers. If I need to communicate with Pearl Jam peeps, thats why I have an account here..
    Exactly!

    After quitting Facebook a long time ago, I decided to give it another plunge to keep in touch with a few people that I worked with and hope that all the "John has thrown a sheep at you" and "You've been super-mega triple-poked by Helen" shit had calmed down.

    I had a bit of a harvest on friends I had no intention of keeping in constant touch with and dropped the total from 80 people to a reasonable 32. The weird thing was one guy who I know, but have only communicated via Facebook once in 12 months, instantly asked to be my friend again when I took him off!

    It's definitely a pseudo social status thing. Instead of pulling gnarly tricks on BMX's and skateboards and dressing cool to impress people, kids now run a successful farm on a computer and invite all their 1,437 friends.

    Bizzare. :?
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    You know what's weird, hearing my wife and her dad talking about MafiaWars in shorthand, it's like a different language. " I hide in Moscow, and am playing the Triads and the Yakuza against each other" " Do you get attacked constantly"? "Sure , you should attack back" "Well i do but just once, some people attack me 7 times in a row""Well dad that's the way to get ahead" "I guess" <-- The Man's having Moral Dilemma's because of this shit!!!

    The people whining that people have too many friends are usually the ones who are insecure about their tiny little lists ;)

    The only thing I am insecure about is my tiny little penis. I could care less about my small list of 95.... no wait it is now 95 Friends on FB. Suck on that!!!! If we were rounding, I could legally say I am at triple digits now!
