the result was that the human brain can bears just 120 friends.

I have over 400 friends in my facebook list, though many of them are people that I play facebook games with and do not chat with or hang out with in person. I have many high school friends on there, family, current coworkers, past coworkers and childhood friends. I have an account with twitter but do not use it. Facebook is the best. It has been amazing bringing me back in touch with people from the past as well as people that I talk to now and a great way to keep in touch with long distance family and friends.

i have 2000 friends lol! that's right 2000.. but 3/4 in my friends' list i don't know nothing about them. zilch. it's because of the game called mafia wars. the more friends you have playing that game too you'll get stronger and be on top of the game. good thing about this is that whenever i join a promo from a fan page, i always look for the ones with "most number of friends to invite" contest because i'm sure i'll be the winner. i won a 50 dollar worth of shoes just because of that :) yay for me.

Maybe if it exceeds to more than 120 friends, the rest would be just acquaintances and people you know only by their names or their faces. But I only 70+ friends on my account. Oh! I know one who has about 600+ friends and he did it just for Mafia Wars. Haha :D

I only have 21..and a couple of them I don't even know. I'm not one to spend a lot of time on Facebook. I never update my status and have no pictures on there. I haven't really gotten into it. I do enjoy checking my friends and family updates though and seeing what's going on with them. Most of them are a distance away.

I was just saying to myself the other day that I'm getting tired of people treating facebook as they would myspace- let me explain.
Myspace to me is the ulitmate networking social site because I EXPECT to meet people I do not know. I EXPECT to get friends requests from strangers that want to get to know me...just because they have visited "my-space" (pun intended).
Facebook to me started off as a way to reconnect with long lost friends and family. Facebook was a place where I felt safe because I was surrounded by "real" friends that I knew personally! Now I am startng to get friends of friends requesting me, and although at first I thought- oh whats the harm in a new friend- the requests are getting out of hand. And although I don't mind making new friends..those that request me- usually never say another word to me besides the friends request. So it makes me think...well whats the point of that??. Its a waste of time and its cluttering up my friends list on facebook.
Recently I updated my status in facebook to read "WARNING, today I am playing clean house on my facebook friends list, if you find yourself deleted it is because we do not know each other personally or because we do not correspond they way friends usually do- no offense to anyone. Thank you and have a good day"
I got many comments from my "actual" friends stating that they were going to do the same...as they felt their facebook friends list has become crowded with strangers we well!!

On MySpace, where you can have celebrities and bands as friends, I have 144 friends. I have 9 followers on Twitter *snort* And on Facebook, I have 54 friends and know almost all of them personally. I have a few that I only know through online and a couple that I've "friended" for promotional purposes, but probably, at least 48 of them are my real life friends.

I currently have around 300 plus friends but of course not everybody is as close as 100 of them. I am planning to go through my friends list and hopefully delete people who are not important to me. I just want to have people on my list that matter to me and not just to have a lot of friends. But of course some are nice to check on once in a while.

I have over 270. Most of them are friends from high school and family members. On top of that, I would venture to say that 20 of these friends are groups (radio stations, fan clubs, etc.) When I do log on, it's only for a quick minute as I talk to everyone I want to talk to via phone.

I think I have more than 200 friends on facebook. Human brains may only be able to bear 120 friends concurrently. But there are actually inactive memory space in your brain which can be utilised. So you may have friends that you know long ago but couldn't remember much of him/her until you meet him/her again. Given the accumulation of friends over the past decades of your life, I believe you would definitely have more than a few hundreds of friends in total.

I have around 50 friends on facebook, and I know all of them personally. I don't believe anyone can really maintain an active personal relationship with more than 100 people, so I always laugh when I see someone with more than 100 friends on facebook or myspace. They probably just add anyone who comes across their page with a friend request, which I tend to do on other sites but not on facebook.

Hi, floridia. I have 350 friends on facebook and about 300 friends on friendster. On twitter about a 100 friends. Most of them are my close friends, classmate way back from kindergarten up to college. Some are friends in the work place. Some are friends of friends and some are just acquaintances. I also have friends which I just met online and we have the same interests. I only have few people who I really do not know on my network. Although I can't chat, or be with them all but at least I can keep in touch and always remember them. =))

I have just about 100 friends. I will usually only be friends with them if I know them off the internet. It is amazing how many people try to scam you online with Facebook. I do not plan on getting any more friends on Facebook. 100 is enough!
