Facebook friends
How many FB friends do you have?
I just deleted 75 friends, and I still have 225, which is still way too many IMO. Before the LO is born, I'm definitely going to get it down even more. I don't need people I haven't spoken to since college seeing pictures or info on my LO.
I know I have a lot of friends who have well over 1,000 facebook friends, and that's just insane to me!
Re: Facebook friends
I have 170. I try to be selective when adding people, but I will accept most requests from people who I was friendly with in the past. I do not accept requests from people who I never talked to but went to school with, or people who I just don't like (obviously, haha). I do have a few randoms on there who I don't really talk to ever. I don't mind them seeing my stuff, but I will probably delete them eventually.
My bro is in high school and has like 450 friends and counting. I feel like he shows up in my news feed every day with a new friend. I asked him once how he keeps meeting all of these new people... his school is not that big, but he must be friends with just about every student there. I am so glad I didn't have facebook in high school and college. What a disaster that would have been, for so many reasons.
Side note, I am glad that you are defriending these people and not adding them to a list with privacy restricted so far that all they can see is your info page. I had a friend do that to me, and we legitimately were friends I thought, but just don't talk anymore. I restricted all of his access to my page too, just out of spite. This was a few months ago and I wonder if he even noticed. I am so mad about it still, if you can't tell! I think this goes along with my anti-invisibility stance on gchat. If you can see me, I want to see you too.
Whoa!
I have about 300. Most are high school and college friends. A lot are rescue contacts. I don't NOT know anyone on my friends list though!
This is exactly how I am... I know everyone I'm friends with, but I've had facebook for 5 years now, so there are so many people I used to be friendly with but haven't seen or spoken to in years.
I think the idea of LO being born, and photos of him inevitably ending up on FB, has kind of freaked me out. I don't mind people I haven't seen in 5 years looking at my wedding photos, but baby photos is different!
I have 334. Every once in a while I'll weed through and delete people when I think "why are we even FB friends to begin with?" when I see their name. I like to FB stalk people though, so I don't delete people who I want to see what's going on in their life
When we have kids, I will likely restrict any albums/wall posts to a smaller subset of my FB friends though
