I have different accounts and in some accounts i have more than 2000 friends, because i use them for fan page purposes.
I have 1172 friends, every single one I have met. It is a lot as I have had a lot of jobs and also worked in Greece for 6 months and am currently travelling so meet new people all the time.
You have met in real life with these number of friend or over net you have discussion in chatting. I think it will be over the net.
I have 72, and I had to look that up. I used to trim people I didn't really know that well, or who were really annoying, but now that I can just hide people, I'm pretty indiscriminate about accepting friend requests, unless they're complete strangers. One is deceased, and her page is a living tribute to her memory, shared by her friends.
Yes each one of these friends I have met in real life, they are friends through the years and people I have met on my travels and at parties/events. I have made friends on forums but they are not my facebook friends, I usually email and skype them.
Less than 100, and even most of them are not really friends. I'm debating whether to get rid of facebook completely if I'm honest...
Around 100 and ...something. But all of them are people I already know in one form or the other, like friends and family.
