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.
