As with anything, the number is likely to drop with lack of use. As a side note that's after about 4 years on Facebook.

But it has been brought to my attention that many of my nearly 1000 "friends" on FB don't have my email address, know about my blog or have any way of contacting me outside of F-book. (I promise, I am pretty easy to find on most any search engine on the internet though ;-). )<br /><br />In any event, for the benefit of those whose web browsers are permanently attached to the big blue f I will reactivate my account today thereby making my contact info readily accessible again through that space. You are welcome. ;-)<br /><br />I still, however don't intend to waste much time there because I still see their Edgerank way of doing things to be non conducive to building social ties and interacting with more people. If anything I still believe what they are engaging in over there is more akin to social engineering and it's not what I signed up for. I still highly encourage folks who are stuck in that mode of interaction to give some other social tools a try like G+ or maybe Twitter (although, I honestly still don't get that 140 character thing) or Heck, even email. ;-) Just sayin!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578075455800096674noreply@blogger.com
