I guess Facebook didn’t anticipate its explosive popularity as a business networking tool. Most individuals would NOT have more than 5000 friends. But use it in a business/organizational context, and almost every reasonably well known company will.

Hey Peter,

I really enjoyed your article / rant! You’ve got a great outlook and who knows maybe the facebook boys will incorporate some of your suggestions.

I think with Google Wave coming things will be changing

Keep up the great work

I think FB has a cap because if you have 10,000 ‘friends’ then its really just more of a marketing tool. I really strongly doubt that anyone interacts (one on one) with that many people on a regular basis, unless maybe they are the president.
