I'm not too bothered tbh. I've added loads of random folk, hence, why I've got 200+ people on my friends list. I'm pretty laid back about it & haven't had any trouble as of yet.

i recently joined facebook so i for now have some 70 friends...which is only 1/3 of people who are my friends. on "local" social network i have some ~ 250.
and i do know all of those people. some worse, some better. and i have never been worried about ID thefts etc. i've been "connected" to the internet since i was 9 years old so i already have a keen eye on things that might be troublesome.  P.S stiron xD you ask for your chances to get a girl you don't know in your facebook friends list? you crack me up every time  our troll deserves a cookie. someone give it to him

Thats not what I would call having a friend. To me a friend is someone I know and am fond of and can have some relationships with--not just have ridiculous amounts of them. Thats bonkers. and yes there definitely are some crazy people out there. can any one explain to me why they want enormous amounts of so called friends added.

and why not add them? just because they are not so close?
yes, everyone has like only 3 best friends. still - you won't accomplish anything with only 3 friends in your life. you can pour your heart out to them, but you need rest of the people also. i've sold, bought, invited to parties,been invited, learned, taught and many other things since i have these 250 people who are mix of good friends, best friends and just some acquaintances. it's like a small community that can help each other out when it's needed or simply a place to go to learn about what's going on in peoples lives, world and see some LOLcat pictures.

I have some people from here on Facebook and I don't mind. It's not like I'll add anyone right away, the ones that made it to my Facebook friends list are people who I've known long enough on this forum and spoken to on msn before so it's all good. everything is relative and contradictory ~

I've put my mobile number & e-mail up. Nobody will e-mail me as my address is confusing, unless your German. hahaha An Cafe, Vidoll, Versailles, Dir En Grey, Deathgaze, the GazettE, alice nine., UVERworld, Kiryu , YUI, AKB48, Buono!, Berryz Koubou, C-ute, S/mileage, Morning Musume, Zoro, Lolita23Q, Visual Kei, Oshare Kei, J-Rock, J-Pop, Idol groups FTW (≧∀≦)

true Miss misa but it sure seems strange to me.
One thing I do notice though is that many people can be organised and that in some of these Parties where someone invites all their friends to their own house can cause havoc. it obviously is a way of communicating and getting news spread in a way theat before would have been much harder. protests,revolutions, crowd gathering is an example of this. In a University no doubt you can know many people which is useful for organising also and cheaper than having to advertise in papers etc. Obviously in a school, college or UNi situation where you come into contact with many people many of you will know each other. I remember my gr children on Messenger-- so many saying hi and that was about it-- used to seem odd to me when she saw them every day at school. I am sure it could be a good way for lonely people to communicate also. I used to like the CB radio where you could chat with others but you did really chat-- but also had to be extremely careful of giving personal details because anyone could always be listening to conversations. it too could be dangerous.It was also a lifeline to the many really lonely folk out there. Before the days of the internet. Not everybody can afford a computer of course. There is such a gap between my generation and your own and sometimes it takes a lot of adjusting to what your generation takes for granted-- I like to choose my real friends--maybe there should be a different word for internet acquaintances. Miss Misa it sounds as though you live a very fulfilled and active life so that is great. Maybe thats one of the perks of being a part of university. Many opportunities to meet a great variety of people. I noticed that Nick Clegg refused to apologise for reneging on his promise about students fees when in discussion with some students. I don't actually care how many facebook or internet friends people add-- but it just seems weird to say they are friends in such numbers. What I call a friend is someone who is always there for you in every situation and vice versa. I wonder what the next ten or twenty years will bring forth? I doubt I'll be around to discover that. LOL
