I think I have something like 250 friends. I can't remember. Facebook is great, I can keep up with almost all my friends there. I would say that I talk to the majority of my "facebook" friends frequently, so they aren't just a bunch of random people.

Facebook is the only 'socializing' website I use. It seems a lot more exclusive than the others, although obviously not completely so.


Totally agree with you, Nemoralis. 8)

I've got facebook with 205 "friends"

most of them are from either high school (i went to a small private high school so i know them pretty well), or they're either in engineering at my university or are/were rowers with my university (i'm on the rowing team). the rest are either random people who have added me and i feel bad about saying "no you're NOT my friend!" or people that i met at parties or worked with.

i really don't use it for much, it's mostly just to know what events are coming up and to get messages from people/groups (my rowing team uses it a lot).

I'm on Facebook pretty frequently, lol! I have a lot of people on my friend's list who I'd consider friends, but a lot just seemed to randomly add me 'cause they knew me...or they're lonely XD;;

I prefer DeviantArt much more than those other social networking ones. As on DevArt you always have a topic of convosation to start on, plus you get to meet people with the same tates in art. My page: http://sdfilm.deviantart.com/ :)

Facebook is a double-edged sword.

It's nice to stay in touch with my friends from high school but at the same time I hate being asked to be friends with people I don't know. It's even worse when girls want to ask me out based on Facebook. I actually have on there that I'm in a relationship even though I'm not just to turn them away.

I am not going to post a link or a name here simply because I reserve it for people I know in person.

I'm not allowed on that site. My mom thinks it's unsafe, and I agree with her.

I have a Facebook account. I currently have about 7 "friends" (that should just be renamed "connections to you" kind of thing) and of those 7, I really only know 4; and out of those 4, only 2 of them I communicate to them often. I opened my Facebook account back last March, and it wasn't a pretty beginning, not worth going into. I added a few more friends last fall, but I don't talk to the often, nor do they initiate a conversation to me ether.

Facebook as a whole is a great site over MySpace in a technical standpoint, but when it goes to the users content, I don't really care, never mind Facebook is a site for liberals (sorry for my political rant) and lots of profiles of wild people.

I am tempted to create friends towards people whom I don't know, but I fall back because I don't know how they are going to react on the other end. My first run-in with someone that I sorta knew went sour because I didn't know how to communicate via the Internet with people that I don't even know.

I never gotten many friends on ether my MySpace or Facebook accounts, never got many hits (only north of 400 on my MySpace), messages to people didn't get returned and if I got any friend requests, they were spam.

I guess, I should network the old fashioned way.
