There's only so much time in the day to dedicate to relationships. Why do people want digital "friends" numbering in the hundreds? I would have to say most of them are probably acquaintances. How can anyone develop deep quality relationships with that many? Isn't quality important anymore? Why is quantity valued moreso as reflected by the amassing of huge numbers of online "buddies?"
To me, less IS more. I believe the strength of the ties/connections weaken as the bonds increase, whereas the smaller the social network, the more time one has to invest in those relationships.
Please share your thoughts on this...
What is the driving force or motivating factor why people need to accumulate 200+ "friends" on Myspace?
It's the social butterfly syndrome. The more friends you have, the more popular you look. Popularity is an importance, although socially and mentally degrading sometimes to individuals who starve for attention. It's unfortunate, but they may grow up.
