There are two rather different ways of doing fb: keeping one’s friends list relatively small or building it up to around 5,000. The first method keeps people who basically share the same interests and opinions without too much dissent while the latter prefers a more varied group of Interlocutors.

Sometimes a mixture of the two types of fb users can be unsettling. I can’t tell you how many times I’d say something and no fewer than 10-12 people assumed it was written to them personally! On the other hand, someone with about 300 ‘friends’ has only about 30 people at any one time to consider and sometimes feels slighted when a person with nearly 5,000 plus 2,000 followers doesn’t see their posts!

No commentary, no judgement, no advice – just an observation.
