How do you keep up with all those friends?

I was reviewing the membership roll of one of the groups I moderate, looking to delete non-participative members. I looked at recent posts, responses, groups joined & number of friends. My thought was that having a reasonable number of groups & friends would allow someone to enjoy the posts and comradery of fellow TN members without being buried. Makes sense to me as I enjoy sending periodic *whats up* notes to my friends. But then I came across someone with 350 pages of friends and so many groups I stopped counting. How does this work?? Can you actually follow the happenings of the horde or is it just hitting the *Friend request* button? More power to you if you can keep up but I*d be overwhelmed. I*m going to keep my list short and posts frequent. Any thoughts out there?

    Some people seem to regard number of friends, number of groups joined, number of posts/comments as the measure of success on social media. I see the same on FB where I am the moderator of a couple of groups. Someone applies to join the group and the link says they are a member of 100s or even a 1000 plus groups.
    I only accept people as friends if we have been in contact before they send the request. And occasionally go through my friends list removing any I no longer recognise as we havent been in contact.
    Have never understood quantity over quality.

    I feel the same way about friends and groups, but admittedly aim for a high post count n

    Keep my friends list nice and trimmed. The reasons for me accepting them is laid out in my profile write-up. I keep in touch they keep in touch. Those who do not get the axe as I perform a "Purge" every six months . . .
