How Many Friends Is Too Many?

Bobbie Johnson has posted an interesting article about Facebook whales. According to a recent New York Times article, people with more than 800 friends are perceived as insecure. Good think I currently have 760 friends! I should avoid approving my more than 200 friend requests so that I can maintain my personal security. Honestly though, I probably personally know a little over 500 of my contacts and the remainder are readers from my site. My younger cousin has over 1,000 friends though and is still in college.
