Topic: The "Friends" Collection... | |
---|---|
I was sitting next to my 19yr old neice who was busy playing on MySpace & noticed she had a little over a 1000 "friends". It got me thinking...if she just emailed 10 friends once a week, then 10 more the next, & so on...it would take her almost 2yrs to email all her friends just once...
Just asking a question: Do you "talk" to all your cyber "friends" on (at least) a weekly basis...& if not...why are they on a friend's list? |

I also use the "collector" terminology as you do.I sold my collection on ebay.

I don't. I either don't have time or I just don't feel like it. But most of my friends are music artists because my page was a music promoting page.

Keeping in touch with them all is pretty impossible. My list is maybe 8 or 9 and I do talk to them, not as frequently as I would like, but at least I can whereas I couldn't if my list was enormous like some on this or any other site. |

I always talk to whoever is on my friends list, either in email or here on the forums. My list is realtively small, and the people that are on there are there for good reason.

That's the new fab ask everyone to be your friend, who cares if we talk or not "I'm popular"

I don't talk to the great majority of my cyberfriends (if any of them), and I have no idea as to why they'd be on my friends list. |

Fell out of contact with one other Friend. None of the other Mingle Friends are pen pals, but they are wonderful people. |

Cyber friends are only there when you turn on your PC, unless you have couple of them that moved up to real friends!

Contrary to popular belief, people DO meet from the internet. I've personally met over 100.

I'm guessing, but think she has about 850 that occupy space and nothing more. Somewhere I ready 150 is the maximum a person could manage. |

If I don't "run" into one of my friends here on a thread then a message will be sent every week or so. That is how come I don't collect friends.

mostly just the friends on message boards..

My "space" page is only for my family out of town and my "actual" friends.Its how I share pics of family/friends events instead of burning discs for everyone (big family) and having to mail them all out.This way they can just save to their computer if they so wish.

The folks on my list are people that I chat with in the threads. Some are folks who come on once in a while. But, I consider all to be friends. For better or worse.
