Facebook is one of the best applications i have seen to search for friends. I havent seen such a site like that. It has got everything and thanks to the founder of the same. I have over 150 friends in a short period of 5 months and all are known to me. I found most of my school mates and college mates. Apart from that i have few from my previous firm too. It is simply the best application ever i have seen. I usually add friends by looking at other friend's list if they are known to me. Share ur thoughts on the same.

I have about 90 friends on Facebook and I added them through looking for people that wanted to network and make more friends. However what I found was people asking me who I was. I did not like this after all I was only trying to make friends. So I have stopped using Facebook as much now as it does not really seem that friendly at all. I do not really like using it as people just tend to talk to the people they know. Twitter is far better because it is not like this.

That is so true many of them send friend request for you and when accept them,they don't bother ith you anymore. I think most of them send request base on the games they are playing and friends are needed to reach a certain level.So in other words they are using you mainly for making up numbers instead of sincerely makng friends.

i have about 300 friends on facebook, since its such a personal site i only accept/add people I know very well so my lists is comprised of family and close friends from over the years. Its hard to just aceept anyone when I have so much on my page, pictures, and whole space about me, my family and friends things i like to do, phone numbers so i really jus use it as a platform to stay in touch with my good friends and close family. So don't be offended when ppl are confused by your add like me they are just curious as to why you added them maybe you guys met and the person was curious to know if they forgot having met you.

Hello. I think I already have 600 friends in facebook for a couple of years I think and I think it's still growing. All of the people in facebook have been my friends, officemates, and classmates back in highschool, elementary and college. I didn't how how much friends I've already had till you mentioned it in your posts. LOL. I love how these cute networking sites keep people connected. It's good to see familiar faces you met years and years ago.

I only have about 170 friends. Most of them are my friends, relatives, and family members. The rest could be friends of friends or people that you see often even though you don't really know them. I don't think people that have 3000+ friends really know who their friends are. Sometimes people add them because they have good looking profile pictures.

Hi. xorticanz. I have 112 friends on Facebook right now. I am still awaiting on some more friend request that I have made too. I found them by thinking about them as I remember them. And most of them, I saw that they were friends with someone else that I knew too. I have a lot of friends, that have friends that I don't really know. I usually don't add them as my friend, since I don't really know them.

I use facebook mostly to play the game frontierville. I do have a lot of 'friends' there but most of them I don't know personally and only communicate with through the game. There is a Dutch site called 'hyves' that is quite similar to facebook accept for the games, and I do have old schoolfriends, relatives and such on that site. Facebook however I only pretty much only use for the games.

I have more than 500 friends on facebook, most of them are school mates, collage mates, colleagues, etc and some are from web community, or online games. I will approve most of people. But if that someone, the new friend that I know from facebook tries to be impolite, I will delete and block him directly. No Mercy!

I gathered around 700 friends in facebook. This is because I used to play Mafiawars and to strengthen your account you need a bigger mafia size, meaning a bigger number of mafia friends.

Basically family, friends, alumni and past acquaintances. Somehow they keep finding me. I must admit I don't use facebook as I did a year ago, but it is a great place to share recent and current events with one another.

I have around 350 Facebook friends. I know them from church and from my past years of school. I have easily found my friends by looking for mutual friends. I am also happy to say that I personally know all of my friends on Facebook!! :)

I have added over 900 friends on my facebook account. Some of them are my close friends and relatives, the others I got through game forums and added them to be my neighbors. I also make good online friends when I join groups, for me it's the best way to interact and talk with others about interests. I agree with you, I think it's the best social applicaton so far, a great way to make friends around the world.

I have 270. I got them because, well I know them. I see them regularly and I'm friends with them. I've had my profile only since this June so not very long. If you mean how did I find them on facebook I just searched their names, used the friend finder (it checks your email contacts to see if those e-mails are on facebook). But once I had about 20 friends I just looked at my friends' friends and added them. Eventually the ones I didn't find found me probably in a similar manner. I found a good number of them through MySpace but when Facebook went public (accepted people without university email addresses) we all switched and just exchanged URLs through MySpace.

I have about 270 friends. They are mostly people who went to my old school, and many of them go to the school I currently attend. Some are also family members so they added me. The people you may know tool or "suggestions" tool is also pretty handy for finding people I know. The rest of my facebook friends are random/foreign people that added me, and I accepted to ask them who they were.
