Twitter is fine for 140-character micro-postings, and for the ecosystem surrounding it. But micro-posts are not journals. Flickr is great for posting, tagging, organizing and annotating photographs, and for allied services such as creating groups and the rest of it, but it ain’t blogging.

I've been around a long time and know a lot of people, especially in the tech industry. So I think the numbers here are combination of neglected Facebook maintenance and knowing a lot of people. But hell, maybe you're right. Most of the requests are from people I don't know. Or barely remember from somewhere or other. In any case, I've never played the popularity game, and have no interest in it, which is why it's beside the point I'm making here, which is also <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/doc/2007/10/23/too-much-facebook-time/" rel="nofollow">the one I made almost a year ago</a>. Guess I should have pointed back to that. Maybe I'll add the link now. I think there’s a difference between popularity and knowing a lot of people.
