About eighteen months ago I tallied up my then 40 friends on Facebook and broke it down. Now I've crossed 100 friends I'm doing it again, and probably never again because it is getting tricky and time-consuming to compile now. Anyway, here goes:
By nation:
Scottish - 65%
English - 21%
American - 13%
Other - 1% (Hi Sally!)
Male/female:
Female - 67%
Male - 33%
Other - 0% (insert your own joke here)
I know you all so well:
Not met 4%
Met once 2%
Where I know people from:
Former work - 52%
Former church - 35%
Current workplace & current Church - 0% (nice!)
Fellow supporter of by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen - 6%
Met through my parents - 3%
Uni - 1% (Hi Gill!)
School - 1% (Hi Simon!)
Own family - 1% (Hi Charlotte!)
Other - 1% (Hi Pat!)
I'd guess that about 60% of my best friends are now on Facebook, although one of my friends did take the decision to close his account there (which at least got us in touch with each other - I was worried I had offended him!).

Facebook By Numbers
As I finally crossed the 40-friend plateau on Facebook in the last week I thought this might be a bit of fun to do. I swear this didn't take me that long to do, I'm not that much of a geek.
(And I know this should be titled "Facebook By Percentages", but that doesn't really sound as nice, does it?)
By nation:
English - 40%
Scottish - 37.5%
USA - 20%
Other - 2.5% (Hi Sally!)
Male/female:
Female - 65%
Male - 35%
Other - 0% (insert your own joke here)
I know you all so well:
Percentage of my "friends" who I've not met - 10%
Further friends who I've only met once - 5%
Where I know people from:
Church - 50%
Work - 30%
Fellow supporter of by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen - 15%
Uni - 2.5% (Hi Gill!)
Other - 2.5% (Hi Pat!)
One person actually crosses the Church/Work divide, but I'm sure neither he nor I want to think back to a time where earning £2.50 an hour in a summer job was acceptable.
And as a final aside, of my best friends I'd probably estimate that 40 to 50% of them are actually on Facebook.
How and where do you know your Facebook friends from?
