you know the spammers in there, drive me crazy....and i get the feeling its about 85 percent advertizing....they ask to be your friend and then they spam your profile messages with multiple posts trying to make money....yuk, Id rather be here in mylot....

Most of my Myspace friends are actually family members and I've got a couple that I was already friends with online as well...When someone I dont know requests a friendship add I always check out their page and more often than not I dont add them cause so many of them are spammers or just not ppl I want in my list ya know...

I have 40, I had a page before with a lot more but cancelled it. I screen them, If someone adds me, and I do not know who it is I usually ask if I know them or their intentions, if it is a spammer or something you'll know. Then I dont add them until I know their intentions. BUt I like to add and meet new people, if it doesnt work out you can always delete them =)

I have 71 friends. I know all of them (there are a few bands/actors, however). I don't /like/ all of them, but knowing them all is more than I can say for some people. I just don't see the point adding people to whom you have never spoken. I use MySpace to keep up with what the people I care about are doing when I'm not around them, so I deny anyone I don't know.
I wish I had the spine to remove the people I don't really care about/like, but I'm too afraid of how people think of me. =P I'm working on it, however.

I only have 29, and for good reason. The only people on there, save two, I know in real life. One of them is a very good online friend who I talk to all the time, and who I know won't constantly comment me with stupid things, or spam my inbox. I don't see a point in friending someone you don't know, since the whole point of your friends list is to list your friends, not people who add you to raise their total.

Ok, thank you for your point, but I am going to raise the bar here, in defense of those who have more than 29 friends. One, that is a high school mentality. For those of us who want to inform people to what is going on in the world, and for those trying to promote their music, for those who are activists, and for those who are simply networking, we do not have to personally meet and greet everyone in and on our friends list, though it would be nice. The people who I have on my friends list are each as equally as important as your 29 friends are, and I wouldn't hesitate to goto a coffeeshop with them, do business with them, or just chew the fat, and complement their bulletin because they did a great job on presenting it. They are my fans, I am their fan. Each one of my friends contributes to my personality, which I cherish. Indeed with such a small amount of friends,(29) do
you expect such narrow mindedness to be fruitful in business?Indeed the online friends you have made contribute to your personality (hopefully in a good way) and indeed whether you have 2 friends, or 10,000 friends
it is no different. 10,000 friends just gives you more to love.
Now, I hope I made my point without being too critical, I have a lot of family who are the same way, but indeed they are all on my friends list as well, and equally important.
