I have 156 friends , I'm guilty of collecting them as a badge.. Probably about 10 of them are internet-only friends, and some of them are distant people from travelling I'll probably never see again..

I've found the pros of facebook networking outweigh the cons of using friends for attention / validation purposes by a lot though for me
