Pretty true. Some of the people I know have like 500 contacts. There's no way you know that many people and actually talk to them on a regular basis.

I've seen that and they were mostly from Mafia Wars. I guess if you don't do FB to keep in touch with people, that's the other way to do it.

I had Facebook in College, during the first year of Facebook when it was only OPEN TO COLLEGE Students.

All of my FB friends were people who I actually knew in real life and it was pretty interesting to keep in touch.

Entering the real world.... Facebook becomes a liability in many senses.

I will probably start a real account at some point and limit it strictly to people I actually care to interact with, though I get asked if I have a FB account all the time, and I don't know if its now possible to completely ignore friend requests from people you have no interest being part of your friends list, without offending them ... somehow.

Speaking of which, can you do separate echelons of "friends" on FB? Like, accept someone as a "real" friend, allowing full access to your page, and someone random as a "fake" friend and allowing basically nothing to show on your page. Obviously, this might be blatantly apparent, but who knows, they might assume you have nothing on your page and you won't have to decline them.

Who says they have to be talked to regularly? There are a few of mine we get together every 2-3 years only.

This time will be for the Rush Time Machine tour.

I have a friend who's got over 1200 and she, with a straight face, claimed she's "friendly" will all of them. I told her she's full of shit and that there's gotta be a few hundred that she hasn't spoken to in over a year or two.. which she then sheepishly admitted.

the chick on my list with the most has thousands... i can't bring it up on Opera Mini but i think she is over 5000.

she just adds whoever wants to add her.... she's an amateur pr0n star or something, or maybe just a girl gone wild.

anyhoo, i saw her last weekend and said hi, and she just gave me a weird look and kept walkin. great friends... :/ i won't delete her though... her pics are hot. i wouldn't mind trying to bang her but allegedly she only likes chicks. guess that would explain the snobbery...
