I see people on facebook and myspace with so many "friends" on facebook and stuff it makes me wonder..do you actually hang out with all of them? Or do you have your facebook friends and real life friends? I have talked to my friends about this, and its like they dont wanna admit that they add people that they barley talk to in real life. I know a girl who has 367 "friends" on facebook. It makes me laugh because a few weeks ago she had around 200 friends. Its amazing how someone can make over 160 friends in a mere 2-3 weeks. I dont buy it. Do you people who have hundreds of friends on facebook actually look at your friend count and think that validates your worth as a person? How sad that people actually socialize more on the interent than they do in person

no, i don't hang out with all of them... but I do know them all personally. Alot of people are from my old schools or classes I had in college. They are good contacts in case I had a question about homework. Also, when I moved after college it made it easy to see what people from school lived in my new city... then I did start to hang out with them as i tried to meet more people.

I do have a myspace. I have used it for ages but have never been keen on it. Nearly all my friends on that are fakes or some genuine that I do bother with but have never met them and do not really know them. I recently started using Facebook. I love it, it is so much better than myspace and the security is better...you don't get random people wanting to be your friend. Everyone of my friends on Facebook are people I have known in my lifetime and are still good friends with now. I socialize both on and off the net, as most of my real life friends are on facebook. If I meet anyone new on the internet I am very wary...it will take a while to let my guard down.

Actually I do have around 200 friends or so on facebook and to be quite honest, I do "see" them at university every now and then but they are not actual "friends" that I hang around with. Maybe 30-40% are close friends, but the rest aren't even friends...at least not yet. I sometimes add people just because they are in my class or in the same department at university without having to hold real conversations with them. Being as shy as I am in real life, facebook is simply a means for me to say: hi lets be friends or something of that sort. But the most frustrating thing about facebook is not when you see people having 200 friends or more, but when you learn about their plans or the get-togethers or outings that you may not have been invited to. For me this is the most frustrating thing about facebook.

I don't as much as I'd like to, most of my friends are family, most of them live out of town. Same with my friends, they live out of town, myspace/ facebook is my way of keeping up with their lives. Through myspace I have found a college friend that I thought I'd never hear from again. I did start to add all sorts of people from TV shows I liked, or musicians I liked then I realized I wasn't fully interested in these people it was just to have a number, so I got rid of the ones that were not close friends and family. I think I have one musician, one Reality TV person, a few fan clubs to this person, a mom of a baby that has shanking baby syndrome (she posts updates how he's doing) then a small boy that has cancer and his wish it to have the most friends on myspace (they also post updates how he's doing).

of all my facebook friends (I have at least 500 or more) I only DON'T KNOW one of them-everyone else has either been to school with me, worked with me, church, extra curricular activity,etc, or I met them through someone else I knew
as for myspace-I have a few celebrity friends but these are celebrities that I actually like-all other friends are present/former schoolmates,co-workers,etc
myspace is about networking and I do talk to a celebrity friend all the time-she's a video model
katt williams is my friend and he's talked to me
I don't want a lot of celebrity friends b/c I know that most of them don't check their page themselves-though there is a way to tell what celebrity checks their own page
I use myspace and facebook to keep in touch with my old schoolmates esp. when reunion time comes around or we just want to hang out and catch up on things

I accept people's friendship even if I don't them. I only add those i've been acquainted with or am friends with and like etc. So, I have a **** load, but that is not the reason why I have so many, I have them because I want to be their friends, if they chose me as one. I care about the quality not the quanity. So, no I do not hang out wiht 3/4 of the people on fb.

No, of course not...Those "friends" are just people that people met a few times that don't even talk to, co-workers, classmates, friends they've met online after not speaking for many years, family, friends of friends, etc. Say someone has about 250 people on their list, out of those, only 50 are actual friends they hang out with. I'm not one of those people who just add random people for no reason, I know each person in real life. I make sure the friends on my list are people that want to keep in touch with.
Honestly, the whole thing is like a popularity contest to me. =)

All of my myspace friends are either bands or artists that I'm into, or my real friends that I knew long before anyone ever heard of myspace. I'm not into having a bunch of "friends" I don't really know. Maybe if I just happened to get to chatting with someone enough that we really got to know each other, but I don't have much time for that anyway.

on facebook i personally know every person. They are all people I used to go to school with. For myspace the only people i do not personally know are some of the music artists. But as for regular people I know each and every one of them. I even have it stated in my profile to not add me unless you know me cuz I will not accept your invite if I dont know you.
