Friends list a mile long!!

I can't really say anything about friends list on Facebook as I don't have an account there. But here, I like to keep my friends list under control. Periodically, I go over it and delete those who only have few activities and do not seem to even log in here for few months at length.

I agree with you, allknowing. I have maybe 20 people in my facebook and that includes part of my immediate family. I really don`t go there unless I`m interested in a picture posted by them. I prefer the phone and better still, a tea or diner together.

Some people collect friends like trophies, it's away of telling others they are so popular and wanted by x amount of friends, it becomes a contest who can get the most. I have only a few friends on Facebook, I am very particular on who I add as a friend, a friend and her family I actually MET at college and a friend from Mylot who interacts with me, they are 'real' friends, not virtual reality friends who just add me to increase their popularity. I can't honestly see the real benefits about having such a list either, but then I am a private person and I don't spend my life on Facebook like some seem to.

I don't what the thing is with the long friend list on facebook. Your right..out of all the people they have on there, there are only a few they actually communicate with anyway. I think that it actually does make people feel more popular to have it. I am not one that even visits facebook very often. Usually when I get a message or something I will go on for a bit.

I see kids here in my cafe with 1500 facebook friends. Im sure they dont know that many. So why do they have them? Makes no sence to me.

everyhead will have some differences of mind. For example: what if you said that "can anyone give me an explanation about love?" i guess, their answers will different in each other. you will never know who is the people that can give you the best answer.

Are we playing semantics with the word "friend?" The hosts of the sites have chosen the word "friend" when even casual acqaintance would be more appropriate...so I go along with the concept! But, I do have rather a long-list...and NO, I do not regret it, as from time to time, as their life evolves, they become active for a while...and it is "very nice" to hear from them...and if I had removed them...I would miss that modicum of communication...I DO NOT remove those souls, that I have met, in my walk thru life...and always gleeful when our paths should cross again, and feel the same way here, in myLot!

I can't figure that out either! when I put someone on my friends list, it's because I want to keep up with what they are doing, and here on Mylot, what they are discussing.. if I didn't have an interest in them, I wouldn't bother. I guess maybe it just makes people feel more popular or something to have a zillion friends.

Hi All, it had been a long time i am inactive in my Facebook anymore. Because i got many spammed emails from my friends. Everyone seems want to promote their business to me. When i was still very active, almost everyday i am receiving friend request. Even i had received friend request from a few totally strangers. I didn't accept them and i deleted them off.

What you said do make sense. We have pages and pages of friends in Facebook, myLot etc. Only a handful that we really interact in a daily basis. However, it is good to have friends ready because we can spread any messages fast and this will really help in time of need and necessity. Especially when they need their friends' support to vote on certain activities or contest. I noticed that before on my Facebook where friends request us to vote for so and so.

I do have a Facebook but I am not active at all. However, I knows what is going on because whatever my friends' activities like their comments, upload new photos, their tweet etc, the notification will appear in my inbox email. That is why I hated it because my incoming mails becoming like spam Friend list are not much in mine bacause I won't accept friends request unless I really know them. Not friends's friend or mutual or hi hi friend.

I think for some it is a popularity contest or something. I don't have too many friends on facebook. I really only have people that I talk to often or family that I added because they wanted me to (can't upset the family, lol). I don't go on facebook a lot though so I don't really care how long or short my friends list is there to be honest...

First thing, Facebook is a waste of time. All you're thinking about is getting on, checking people's walls, adding people you don't know, updating your status and that's it. We don't even get paid for getting on Facebook so why get on? Second thing, you don't need alot of friends in your circle. If you want to put your life at risk talking to strangers, go ahead. It's not my life that's in danger, it's yours. Third thing, who cares how many friends you have. I think it's more of how may people you know, the more popular you become. Alot of people recognize you more if you have 5,000 friends in your Facebook list. Once you add them as a friend, half the time you're not going to talk to them. So why worry about who's your friend or not. The world still rotates without them. Fourth thing, get a life. Who wants to spend an hour adding people you don't know. You can do more productive things than sitting behind a computer all day.
