if it wasn't for facebook i wouldn't talk to 94% of them.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 7:35AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/
I would also say that 1) we use the word friend way too casually and 2) the word friend is a convenient shortcut for associate or acquaintance. We use friend rather than run through a categorization process every time we refer to people.

If you don't like the use of friend for anyone past the magic Dunbar 150 then talk to Facebook about adding more categories.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 7:46AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 12th 2010 5:03PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 8:11AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 11:28AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 6:18PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 8:15AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 8:25AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 8:26AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/how-many-facebook-friends-do-we-have-for-real/Feb 2nd 2010 8:34AM
