Ok. If I include my 100+ relatives in North America who can read English, not the ones who are Chinese-language literate only (Forget about relatives in China, I can't read Chinese.), plus friends I still keep in touch, cycling acquaintances here that would be under 250.

If I included work colleagues (heaven forbid), that would amount to 500..over last 10 yrs.
Like i said, i think its a generational thing. Most of the people I know are also tech natives. work colleagues are probably 10% of the 500. The rest are friends from school etc. 90% of the 500 are under 30 yrs of age, and Its safe to say 70% are under the age of 25... (no one under 21 though i think...) I draw a strict line at adding students. When my kids ask me, my standard reply is 'no i don't add students on facebook.' They always look quite stunned. I don't know what under-12s are doing on facebook. That is unsafe use to me...
