I have 120 friends on Friendster. I've always thought this was a pathetic number, with other people's lists breaking the 200 level easily and frequently.
But then I noticed the number of my "second degree" Friendsters: 4,348.
Assuming each of my 120 friends had their own 120 Friends (even counting overlap), I'd be looking at 14,400 second degree friends. Instead I have 4,348 (and only God know how many of those are fictional, diffrent profiles of the same person, etc.).
Divide 4,348 by 120 and you get 36.2; the average number of friends my friends have. I therefore have 330% more friends than my friends do.
Look who's Ms. Popular all of a sudden.
