5,000 Friends

Jump to Comments

Now that Facebook is lifting a 5,000-cap on the number of friends that members may have, do you feel unpopular?

I have a select Facebook circle of friends and use email, IM and TXT as primary quick communications tools. In-person meetings or cellphone work best for the more personal and serious discussions.

If you have 5,000 Facebook friends, here’s a Pareto’s Principle (80/20 rule) question: How many of them do you exchange meaningful dialog beyond 5 minutes at least once or twice a week?

Getting to the 5,000-friend mark is a feat alone. A new Facebook member would have to add 13.6 friends each day to reach that level in a year.

At what point are friends people, and people statistics?
