A truer assessment I've never heard. If I were to go to the trouble of categorizing my friends, the list would be "About six people I barely know" (because they work here) and "I have no idea who these people are."

As one of your facebook friends, I'm hurt by that Miss C. (FYI, you can put me on the potential list... ;^)
I find that social networking site lead to having people on there for long ago that you wish weren't.
My lists would be:
Actual friends. (6-7 people)
People I work with (30 people)
People I knew 20 years ago and friended in a fit of melancholy (10 people)
Women I flirted with and/or had disastrous dates with that I don't want to delete because I might offend them (10 people)
People I know from various websites but will never meet (30 people)
Celebrities (10 people)
I could easily drop half of my fiends and notice no difference.
LostInDaJungle, since you put more work in at this site than most of us do, you'd be in the first group!
Honestly, I don't go there often enough to keep up. There are too many places on the 'net I HAVE to keep an eye on.
I think that we would have kept in better touch with the people we used to know if we had this service back then.
