Question is easy. Do you know all your facebook friends? I asks this because I often see people with 500+ facebook friends and I only have like 200 friends. I know a lot of people just add people because a friend of them knows them.

I have 98 friends on facebook, I know all of them personally except for 1 who is an online friend. It is amazing how many people we meet and who play a part in our lives, isn't it?

Yes, it sure is amazing. People we meet at school, at work, at parties, on the bus, ... It is really cool if you look at it.

I mostly know all of them. I have about 1350 people in my facebook and I think I kno at least 1200 of them all. I change schools throughout my life, so that alone will make my friends list longer than some people may have. other than that, I used to approve random people who add me as their friend, but since these past few months I decided to reject every friends request who I don't know or met

As of Today I have 1,222 friends and NO- I don't know ALL of them.. I know personally, maybe a tenth of them. I have different groups of friends for different reasons.. I have a group, maybe 100 or so friends that are all Fans of the TV show Moonlight. We have been friends for a couple years and belong to many of the same sites and have friended each other on places like myspace etc.. I have another group of over 100+ that are all "Collie" people. And these people I have a lot of fun talking to and looking at their pics- we all have Collies and admire them and have the love of dogs in common. Then The largest group is the group of "friends" I have added for My games Mostly Mafia Wars -but there are a few others. But I have found that I have a bit in common with some of them and we do converse every now and then.. It really has been a lot of fun for me -since I started adding all these people and chatting with people all over the world!

I don't all my friends in facebook. Some of them are my friends of facebook games. At first i'm planning that all my friends should only be those persons that i know but it just didnt happen when i think it is always better to have new set of friends especially from the other countries. You'll learn a lot.

I have around 150 friends on Facebook. There are only 2 or 3 who I have allowed to add me that I don't know personally - but they are friends of friends. Probably around 25% of the friends on my account are family members, as we have a large family that is spread over the US and Facebook is an excellent way to keep in touch.

I have a lot of friends in facebook. Most are from my high school and I know them pretty well. Some are from facebook itself of which I just added to have more friends do the games with, but I only limited them to around 3-4. There are also online friends that I've known for more than 10years there. Though, I haven't reachd 500+ yet, I guess they're over 100 for now.
