Strombo

This is what happens when you try to add George Stroumboulopoulos to your list of Facebook friends.

Wow. Way to rub it in. ;-)

In the world of Facebook, you’re only allowed to have 5,000 “friends.” People, like Strombo, who are are a public figure and have lots of Internet-connected fans usually accept every friend request as a means of promotion. (Actually, there are four “I’m the real Stombo” people on Facebook. It’s hard to tell who’s really behind them.)

Better to try fan pages instead.

    Hillarity.

    Didn’t even think there was a limit on facebook.

    Granted, appearently twitter will kick you if you’re “following” too many people… something about database issues/etc.


    These days, Twitter will also kick you if it’s a Tuesday, any time something interesting happens in the world, or if there is daylight somewhere on Earth at that moment. ;-) {/rant}

    I don’t need a Facebook account to know that George and I are very, very good friends.

    That’s funny! I was one of the first to join Facebook when it started up, & left last year because of frustration (& boredom I guess) with applications & just SO MANY PEOPLE. George was one of my friends then. I guess it’s REALLY over now…
