I have a few more than 300. I had like 335 & went & cut some people so I was down to 300 but a few have friended me since & I haven't cut anyone again yet. I don't really want more than 300--it looks like I'm a friend collector, which I am not...I really try to limit it. If I friended all my old friends from home, school, work--I'd easily have over 600 since I've gone to school in probably 6 places & had many jobs, etc. I had a really hard time cutting 35--I really am friends w/ that many people, easily.

Designing a Life Blog
I don't really think you can say how many is too many. It's all relative. I have 260 and would have more if I added every single person I've come in cotact with in primary/middle/h.s./college, internships, jobs, church, online, groups and anyone I've met through them. But I try to limit it to those I actually want to keep up with and don't mind knowing about my life.
I think it's all relative. My friends list consists of family, current friends, old friends, former students, former co-workers and a few friends from this and one other message board. Some people won't friend co-workers, or family, or wouldn't friend former students, etc. My list would be a lot smaller if I had those particular restrictions. That being said, I used to have a lot more Nest FB or blog-related friends and I cut back a lot on that b/c my list was getting too unwieldy.
What I have to do now is "unfriend" some groups and organizations b/c my newsfeed is full of their crap updates instead of updates from my friends.
Re: How many FB friends do you have... and how many is too many, IYO?
Anything over 150 is too many. These people say so:

Personally, I have half that and sometimes think that is too much.
I have 175. I know each one, except one. I just can't place her for the life of me. Apparantly, I went to high school.
I have friends with a lot of drama and I love, love, reading family drama.
I have 117, and try to keep it around 100.
If I got rid of my Nest people and coupon board people, it would probably be about 80-85.
