As some of you probably have read somewhere around the internet, is that Facebook has(till maybe now) had a limit on the number of friends you can add on Facebook, which was 5000 friends. Initially the main reason for this(as “assumed”) was that no-one could ever have so many friends, but the real reason apparently is due to scaling issues.
I’ve just read a blog posting by TechCrunch that this limit may just be lifted. According to Facebook there are just about 1000 people out of the 70 million people using facebook that actually are at 5000 friends.

Of that 5000, i wonder how many do they actually know on a first name basis at least.
The definition of “friend” has been altered since Facebook!
