1. What the fuck is a buddy list? You know why I don't know the answer? Because this isn't fuckin' Facebook. Do you count your buddies here and ask people on Facebook questions about the total?

3-4. Stop trying so hard. Its not the same. They don't even live in the same neighborhood.

there is a buddy list on the org you add people to it, then you know when they log in

What, because you can't tell they're online when you see their posts?

I know some of my friends read a lot and don't post so much. One of them might log in and not post at ALL

So you just send each other Orgnotes or somethin'?

I have 200 friends, so 420 sounds like a lot to me, and 800 does not sound too much different than 400

Some people just love to talk! Remember on Myspace they had these friend generators where you could get 10,000 friends, as if it mattered?

Trust me I know. I know whose my friends, I know whose not. I still talk to those people, that's how I know.

I don't mean to be rude, but do you really think you have over a 400 "friends"? As in real friends friends and not just people you know more or less.

People that have countless "friends" are friend whores, plain and simple...I can't see any similarity between the org and FB...I don't have to wade thru numerous bullshit posts to find what interests me on FB because I'm in full control of who and what is posted there...there's a huge difference in social networking sites and message boards...

I clean out my friends list ALL the time! If you dont post anything, EVER, or even interact with me, then I feel you are just sitting back being nosy and I dont like that.. I currently have 40 friends... How the hell does anyone even KNOW 400+ people... I also dont just add anyone, I have to know you for longer than a minute...

A few of my FB friends are DJs,so it makes sense that they would have a ton of friends.They invite these people to their many events.Alot of people use FB for networking.

Trust me, I have 420 friends. I know whose a real friend and whose a fake one. I'm not trying to brag, but I'm very "popular" in school. That's why I have a large amount of friends.

True, i was just thinking if FB is a way for your business of getting the word out, then I totally get having lots of people.. I also understand how as a teen, you have high school friends, then you go to college, and get more friends, then you get a job etc etc etc so I can see how your list builds, but for me, being in my early 40's I just dont personally know that many people anymore..

I have 182 FB friends and in a way I wish I had less. But then again you never know who you might start talking to more sometime.

A lot of my FB friends are Prince fans (mostly orgers) which is weird as I am not even much of a Prince fan anymore. The more friends you have the more requests you get too. But even the majority of my RL friends is still Prince fans or former Prince fans I think as I met many of my friends shortly after I finsihed school which was a time when I was a huge Prince fan. And only slowly the amount of non-Prince fans rises among my RL friends .

NONE not ONE of my RL friends are Prince fans... I had never met as big of a fan as myself until the org.. Thats part of the reason I love it here, Even tho I RARELY if ever, have talked about Prince here

My sister would be about the only one who I would consider a fan, we went to the musicology concert together, even tho we sat at different seats... So I can play any album when we are together and she knows the music other than purple rain..

Very different for me. For many years until pretty recently my boyfriend and the only 4 close friends I had as well as a number of other friends were all huge Prince fans . Crazy times . Then most of all were not that interested in Prince anymore, but we were still friends. And last year when Prince played in my hometown again after many years he had not been to my country I rebuilt some friendships with Prince fans too who I had been friends with many years ago, but lost contact. My whole family always thought he was aweful though .

I have over 300 and I’ve cleaned the list up a time or two. For the most part it’s all folks I know in person or have known online long enough to want to interact with that way. I’ve also met a LOT of orgers in person over the years.

For a while I was accepting anyone who was a Prince fan as I assumed I knew them from the org but just didn’t click on what their username was and I didn’t want anyone to feel badly. I’ve since deleted most of those. Now I have to recognize (and like) you before I’ll add.

I do occasionally add people when I’m just getting to know them. Like a friend of a friend you meet through a yoga class or at a party or something and you talked about something you had in common and now you think you may talk to them further. It’s easy to “rack up” lots of folks that way. And it’s all genuinely because you want to connect with that person, not ‘cause you want to look like you’ve got a zillion friends.

I have 100+ 'friends' on Facebook.

I guess the breakdown is roughly as follows:

1/5 = orgers

1/5 = former uni/highschool mates

1/5 = colleagues or work related aquintances

2/5 = real-life friends

Trust me, I have 420 friends. I know whose a real friend and whose a fake one. I'm not trying to brag, but I'm very "popular" in school. That's why I have a large amount of friends.

Oh I am sure you are popular and all. It's just not that I would consider people who I simply know friends. I would have hundreds of 'friends' too if I did that.

I hangout with all 420 of them. Not at once of course.

Facebook allows you to create your own private community...

but, ......

i love having a website that not everyone is privy to...

NO FACEBOOK SHARING.....

There are "friends" and "facebook friends"...when I requested that some orgers "friend" me on facebook, very few did. The ones that did are cool. They post Prince related comments or pics/links to videos that I don't see here. I also joined a Teena Marie fan page on there, and it's just great to see like minded individuals share memories, favorite songs...etc. Just like on here, but without all the rules and restrictions that the Org has.

I have about 150 friends on there, mostly family. I would never want that many people having access to my information (even though I barely post anything )

I've never used that buddy list thing in all my years here. And I can read threads for days without logging in so I don't get logging in and not posting unless I'm reading and answering orgnotes.

But like Cerebus, I don't like people so that's most likely why I feel the way he does about this.

I don't know much about facebook but a friend of mine recently told me if a person has 800 friends on facebook, they've probably only actually met 8 of them.

Are you popular, or "popular?"
