I have about 57 friends on myspace (had it for about 2 years now) and right now I'm only at like 36 friends on facebook (just started an account there about a month or so ago).
I don't hang out with any of those people, but I do enjoy connecting with them once in a while. And I don't add anybody that I wouldn't want to at least share a conversation with at some point.
People with high numbers on facebook/myspace pretty much are people who:
1. Use it to network their website/business
2. Use it for attention/validation purposes
You see people with high numbers of friends and you know there is no way that they maintain any kind of connection with all those people on a regular basis. They collect "friends" as some sort of badge to wear instead of making more intimate connections with people they enjoy.
I wouldn't worry about your "number" of friends is the moral of that story. The important thing is: are you happy with the connections you've made? If not, then improve yourself until you ARE happy. If you are happy with having only one or two friends, then you are far better off than the people who have 500 friends that they can't connect with because they are too shallow.
