"You Gotta Have 150 Friends"


So this blog was due Friday....I am a little late, because I am a idiot and couldn't figure out how to log into my blogger. Anyways, I am supposed to choose one of the essays from "What Matters in America," and write about it. I chose to write about "You Gotta Have 150 Friends," by Robin Dunbar.
Dunbar says that the average number of Facebook friends that we can maintain meaningful relationships is 150.

I think this is crazy. There are only about 10 people I really interact with on Facebook and that is on a weekly basis, NOT DAILY! I have about 400 Facebook friends, Most I don't know and quite a few of them I don't even like! Then there is the select few few that I check up on and chat with.

150 friends on facebook is alot. You probably have to spend most of your time on Facebook, or even LIVE on Facebook to keep up with all those people!

  1. Haha I like how honest you are about your facebook friends and how some of them you don't even like. I will admit it...I have a few fb friends like that myself. One of these days I'm just going to go ahead and drop/defriend them! You make good points here.
