Your Facebook friends aren't really your friends according to this survey

Facebook constantly reminds you of how many connections you have, of all the friends that follow what you do, but they're not real

For many of us, Facebook is an online community that is checked and updated daily if not more frequently. It's where we talk about what we're doing and where we're going, it's the place we turn to for encouragement and sometimes sympathy and also where we can post pictures of cute cats for those all important likes.

It's a big, social space and a way to keep in touch with friends and the other people in your life but is there actually any closeness between you and the folks who take a microsecond out of their day to click like?
