Wow! You’re article really hit home. Just yesterday, I was debating whether or not I should delete my facebook account. I just made it a couple months ago, but just as you explained, I found myself comparing how many friends I had to the amount of friends long-time users have. Also, I was beginning to feel like the word “friends” isn’t very fitting. Most people will add anyone with a pulse, just to see their friend count go up, getting one step closer to ultimate popularity. So, thanks for allowing me to see that there’s someone else out there who feels the same way I do! Great article!

this article is definitely true! realizing i could keep in touch with my real friends without having an online profile is part of the reason i deleted my facebook. by the way- in college there are people who have thousands of friends! 600-700 is almost a norm..crazy

I think I went almost two years without a single friend on facebook. Or maybe one as she was another teacher at the school I worked at.

Interestingly enough I think in 20 years ago in my high school many people collected friends in a similar way. Most of the rest just wished they could.

Funny how life can be circular like that.
