We now have a winner!

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

In the all so strange race to get the most "friends" on "Facebook" and "Twitter" we now
have a winner.

Lady Gaga with 10,000,000!

She must now be the busiest person in the world.

While the term "friend" has been diluted to lower in stature than "acquaintance." I would
still think that a friend would at least glance at other "friends" updates, photos, etc. Adding
a comment every now and then, and actually having an occasional thought of that person.

So if she were to spend an average of 15 seconds checking her "friends" and being a good
"friend" in 2005-2010 terms That would mean a commitment of 41,666.667 hours or 3,472 days,
or 496 weeks. Does not leave much time for touring.

WOW!



Of course as one of the developers of Facebook software that reads posts to decide
what ads to show you assured me, "that is gold."

But I asked, if the recipient of all of those ads, only have 1,000th as many friends do
they really have time to be the recipient of Lady Gaga's gold?

Or as grandma says, "You can tell alot about a person by the friends they keep."
I believe the NSA feels the same way.
