Researchers say that you can have too many Facebook friends. There’s a thin line between popularity and insecurity, and once you’ve reached 800 cataloged bosom buddies, you’ve gone overboard.

Dubbed “Facebook whales,” these behemoths are perceived to be insecure once they reach the magic number. Eight hundred, though, seems awfully low for us. Isn’t even, say, 500 a bit much?

Nick O’Neill from AllFacebook says it must be a young thing. His younger cousin “has over 1,000 friends though and is still in college.” Hmm … any relation to Ilana Nankin?
