Facebook Whale (def): A person with more than 3,000 friends on Facebook.
What would it take for someone who isn’t a famous web personality to become a Facebook whale?
I mean folks like Jeff Pulver, Robert Scoble, Michael Arrington and Jason Calcanis are all whales, but shouldn’t they be? I mean given the sort of readership they have, if they didn’t have that many Facebook friends I would be shocked.
I am not hating, they earned those friends.
But how does someone who doesn’t have millions coming to their site each month become a whale without spamming Facebook forums?
Heck, I have more subscribers to this blog, then I do friends on Facebook. Honestly, I do not buy the quality over quantity bit either. There is power in numbers and having lots of friends never hurts.
So how do I get to be a Facebook whale in the next 30, 60, 90 days? Is it possible or just a pipe dream…
P.S. If you want to help me out and add me as a friend, you can do so here.

Dude, facebook is sooo overrated. It’s following the steps of myspace, which means in three years time it will die to make place for a new social networking site. I’d say focus on your blog’s readers or subscribers more. In the end you’ll have something you own, maybe even something you could make money off. Where as facebook.com owns all the copyrights of the content you post there.
