What are the pros and cons of adding lots of friends on FB?

[CHACC]

I have a dilemma. I currently have about 50 friends on FB - most of whom are pretty much friends. However all my friends have hundreds...I could add the same people but I don't really know them very well they are more random acquaintences from yesteryear. But I was shocked to find that people I know independetly like at work, are only one friend away from me in the FB friends chain!!!

So should I go forth and multiple my friends list, or stick to real friends?

Pros - Get to know alot more people.
Cons - Could get spammed up on your homepage.

If you don't know them but you know people who trust them, then if your looking for new friend's it;s a great idea.

so when u have many friends in fb u dont really have to speak with all of them because u dont know and u can speak only to your best friends so add all the people u want

pro, youll have the fake feeling of being popular, cons, they all can steal your pics and check what you´re doing.
