More from the, "you have too many friends" dept.

Along with Facebook, it's been revealed that Digg.com has a friend limit of it's own. From Mrs. Silence Dogood's blog, it appears that limit is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 or so. You're probably thinking:


"why in the hell would anyone want 1000 or more friends?"

"Isn't that too many?" "How do you manage that?"

"Isn't that just ridiculous??"

In the new world of social networking, bookmarking tools and technology, and with the ever changing way that we communicate, contact, and interact who is to say how many friends/contacts/feeds is too many?

If another user wants to really engage with the community of users around them like this, using the tools and capabilities provided to them, I say more power to them. As long as it's not for spamming or nefarious purposes, I don't see any problem someone having as many friends as they can manage.
