Random Facebook Question

Think about your friends (or it could be you).  Do you know someone on FB that has an insane amount of "friends?"

What is the number?

This guy I know has 1750.  I mean, really?  Really?  I don't think it is possible to know 1750 people.  But maybe that isn't so crazy...?

Re: Random Facebook Question

  • i have a lot, but a lot of them are industry people.  since so many of us are small business, it's very "friendly" and social media driven.

    but yeah, i don't have 1750...lol. 

  • I know someone in nonprofit who has 4131 friends.  I understand her use of the site to reach out to people.

    It's also a reason I like that G+ has different categories.

  • this girl i know from grad school has 2,088

  • A guy a I know has 1,901. There is a girl I know who has 1,007 but I think a lot of them are people she meets at the club she works at.  

  • 3,210.

    he's 23.graduated from harvard. he's hot too. lol

    he studied film so i guess he friends everyone he meets and im sure women friend him.

     my goddaughter is 11 and has over 500 friends. i assume it's her whole school?

  • And I think people have a lot when they have over 500! I barely have 200.

  • I read an article that said that people who have many, many FB friends are narcissistic. Not sure what the scientific basis, if any, was for that conclusion. Just thought I'd mention it.

    I'm at 565 and only friend people I know more than just acquaintances IRL. I have a few friends that are in the 1000s. They are photographers, and do their proofs on FB.

  • DH has lots of friends from when he worked for Paramount and those people friend everyone. Hell, they will friend you, your friends, and their friends if they can.

    I would understand if it were all social networking for business, but when those same people post information about what they are having for lunch it is just stupid.

    I don't friend much of anyone. I think I have 20 friends on FB. Only the select few get to read my stupid posts.

  • Most the people I know like that are in a business that is centered around connections.  A DJ's, musicians, photographers, a fitness model/writer, etc.

    My cousin has 1200+.  And she is a sophomore in college with no business links at all.  Crazy. I think people like her just add friends of friends of friends, just to get their numbers up.  I mean, she's always been popular and all, but really?

  • A friend of ours wife has almost 1700. She just adds anyone that will accept her. I know a lot of my friends that don't actually know her but went to the same school were deleting her because she's an AW and post inappropriate "chest shots" of her new surgery. She also has pretty inappropriate conversations with men that complement her on her chest size. She's married to my DH's best friend who doesn't have a FB page to see what she posts. Tongue Tied

  • i know some who have over 1000, but they are mostly former coworkers and i am willing to bet more than 1/2 of those are networking related relationships.

  • DH's 15 and 23 yr old sisters have over 1100 friends each (obviously not networking relationships). They're in competition with each other to see who gets more friends! One of DH's cousins has 1700 friends and a guy from my high school has over 2000. Crazy!
