Among adult Facebook users, the average (mean) number of friends is 338, and the median (midpoint) number of friends is 200. In other words, half of all Facebook users have more than 200 friends, and half have less than 200. Younger users tend to have significantly larger friend networks than older users: 27% of 18-29 year old Facebook users have more than 500 friends in their network, while 72% of users age 65+ have 100 friends or fewer.
On a Facebook Fan Page, there is no limit (and never has been) to the number of fans you can have. Some people (like Lady Gaga) have millions. In a Facebook Fan Page, all a fan has to do is âLikeâ the page. Frankly, Iâm not sure why Facebook has chosen to lift the â5,000 friendâ limit, and if I were a person with more than 5,000 friends, this would make me nervous.
