It has been a long time since I looked at my entire list of Facebook Friends. Here are some statistics about my 530 "friends"
146 - Never Met
45 - Met only once
190 - have not seen in at least 5 years
Sadly some of these people have passed away.
People interpret Facebook Friend differently. In the early days of social networking, I tried to make friends with anyone, but as time went on I became more selective. The biggest category (36%) is people I've met, but haven't seen in at least 5 years. Most likely, I'll never see many again.
My friends fall into the following categories:
- Professional Acquaintances (librarians and NJIT people)
- People I knew in elementary school, high school, or college.
- Radio Enthusiasts
- Bob Dylan fans
- Baseball fans
- Family
- Lee's friends from high school
In recent years I have met several Facebook Friends for the first time at Citi Field. When I arrive, I state that I am at the game and ask if anyone I know is here.
