facebook has a 5000 friend limit

According to http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/09/29/facebook-to-launch-friend-grouping/ facebook has a 5,000 friend limit – even I haven't hit that one yet !

Facebook will finally allow users to group friends and control information flow based on friend type. For guys like Robert Scoble, who have 5,000 friends (the limit), this may be a way to finally sort through the real friends from the fans.

It’s a much needed feature that people have been requesting for a long time.

del.icio.us 2.0

http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/09/06/exclusive-screen-shots-and-feature-overview-of-delicious-20-preview/

The Delicious service (no longer “del.icio.us” and now residing at delicious.com) boasts 3 million registered users and 100 million unique URLs bookmarked.

If you are invited, all of your existing bookmarks are imported to the preview, although any changes you make will be lost when the new service launches – so it’s just for trying out and giving feedback. Del.icio.us is saying that there is no guarantee that the final product will look exactly like the preview, since they are taking user feedback very seriously.

The preview shows a substantially different interface than the current Del.icio.us site, and a number of new features.

Founder Joshua Schachter says this is a complete code-rewrite of Del.icio.us.

I can only assume that one of their customers that pays for VMware support is still using Red Hat 7 !
