Friends hard to keep up with on Twitter, Facebook

[Archean]

According to this study finding friends isn't the problem, but rather keeping up with them is.

For any fan of Facecook or Twitter, this is a good read.

It's obvious that people with over a 1000 "friends" haven't really got that many friends. Facebook makes it easier for me to catch up with those people i know, but don't get to see for long periods of time.

Agreed!:grinthumb

I've got this friend in FB who's got over 2000 friends. She just accepts any friend request she gets from random people who found her account. I find it quite annoying too.

Yeah i know a girl that lives near me. She works in the local supermarket and has just about every customer on her friends list (over 2000!). It's just crazy in my eyes - complete overkill.
