I have a friend on facebook who has over 700 friends and 64, 583 photos. I
s this a little extreme or the norm?
Can anyone beat that?

65k photos?! Wow... that's some hardcore narcissism right there.

I forgot to mention she is a photographer. Her photographs are amazing but today she posted over 20 of the ocean..it was a bit repetitive.

One of my high school friends has 900+ photos and over 5000 friends. Mind you she travels all over the world and uses FB as one of her networking tools, so I suppose that explains it.

DH's has an uncle who has around 2000 friends, but I think all his 'friends' are people who play some particular game on FB, I don't think he actually knows them all.

ETA- I also have several friends on FB that have photos numbering in the thousands.

I try to keep my friends list around 300, and thats family and friends I actually speak to regularly

I have a friend who has to keep deleting people because he keeps reaching the facebook limit (I think it's 5000). He's a dog judge that travels a lot and there are lots of competitors that as soon as they see a judges name in the schedule they add them to facebook to try and promote their dogs before they are judged. Most judges will refuse friend requests from people they don't personally know for this reason, but he just keeps adding them. Think it makes him feel important.

Does it matter?

Some people use FB like that. I personally think its way OTT, but this is coming from someone who only has 10 people added and no photos.

I guess for a photographer, its a good way of storing your photos.

Well, that's not the most friends I've seen, I know a work colleague with 10x that. They must add every person they ever speak too and their friends as well.

I certainly wouldn't be looking at their folders of photos. That's a ridiculously large amount of photos. I'm surprised FB allows you to store that much data on their servers. They must use it as a backup for her personal system.

This.

Meh who cares. She is a photographer she likes photos. I don't think 700 friends is particularly anything in the scheme of things. People use facebook for all sorts of reasons.

I have over 300 friends on facebook and I definitely speak to way fewer people than that off line.
