Due to the Facebook restrictions on having 5000 friends, I have quit my goal using Facebook to achieve 10 million friends.
If you think this is sad, then please tell Facebook about it.
I am sorry, but it is Facebook's limitations which are frustrating.
Thank you,

The Official Ten Million Friends Network Logo
I have created a basic logo for my initiative. I have added the word "network" because I hope this initiative to be a network whereby friends can contact other friends, and make more friends, and interact with people from all over the world. I have also changed the colour of my punch line "be part of internet history" to orange because its a more neutral colour, although having some properties of red and yellow. I hope you like it!
Clue 4: I volunteer
Here is my next clue. I am quite a regular volunteer nowadays, particularly during my holidays. And combine this with Clue 3 (I love technology), can you guess what sort of volunteering I do? Of course I am not going to fully elaborate on what sort of volunteering I do because it will be damn obvious to the people I know who I am. This clue thing is only getting started. So sorry to break the bad news.
But after I started volunteering, I feel that there is some hope in this world. I think everyone should volunteer at some stage in their life, and perhaps even once a week is good enough. The people appreciate it very much, and also it gives you great experience. I teach people specific skills I have, and they really do appreciate it. I do this once a week for about 1.5 hours, and I really enjoy it. I can the progression of improvement in the people that I teach, particularly the skills they have been practicing after I have taught them.
There is also excellent volunteering support in my community, and actually a friend encouraged me to do it. I try and do it as often as possible, but sometimes I cannot - so I tend to reschedule it to another time or day.
Another interesting thing about volunteering is I meet new people, and also I learn a lot from them as well. Some of the students are quite good at skills that I am not that great at, so we exchange ideas and experiences.
Besides volunteering today, I went to downtown to my old University. It was pretty cool to see the places I was, and also met up with some friends there for a quick coffee. Driving into downtown is not ideal, cost me heaps in parking fees, but it was worthwhile. The coffee catch up is the best kind of friendship catch up I think. Perhaps facebook should invite a coffee catch up application (hint hint). Hehehe.
I will catch up with you all soon, I am working on some other projects (unrelated to Ten Million Friends).

Youtube bug
I was watching some videos on Youtube, and noticed they have this 6th page (for most popular videos), and the one for "today" doesn't load for the 6th page.
Whoa, how often do you see a major website flunk out like this.
Cool. Did anyone else pick it?

Free hugs for everyone
Alright, I have figured out how to ask questions on Facebook so I have decided to hug everyone who answers my question. Its my way of paying them. I would hug everyone who adds me as a friend, but Facebook doesn't allow me to easily track who has added me as friends (I said easily, not that they do not!).
I have sent my first hug to: Cherie Be (who is bored like a potato). Thank you Cherie for being the first one to answer my question, and also thank you for the free drink!
Go on, answer my question and you will get a free MASSIVE HUG!

Australia has some more time because of Facebook's stupid rule
Australia has more time to add me as their friend because Facebook doesn't allow me to add any. My next move will be the US of A I think. Screw the East or West Strategy, I am going for gold here. Lots of people in the USA who will have more appreciation of my crazy idea.
Facebook has temporarily banned me from adding friends.
I don't get it, isn't Facebook meant to be about networking, adding friends. So why have I been temporarily dis-allowed to add more friends. Apparently, I have exceeded the limit of adding friends and inviting new friends. So, Facebook has somehow calculated the number of friends one can have in a set amount of time. This makes me wonder if Facebook has a technical flaw to not allow someone to have 10 million friends. What if they cap my friendship limit to like 10K or something. That wouldn't work well would it.
I know MySpace doesn't do that because of that Tom dude who automatically adds any new user to his friend list.
I hope Facebook takes me off this ban, which kind of sucks because people are interested in my endeavour and have supported me on Facebook. So Mr Zuckerberg (is that his name, the founder of Facebook), if you're reading this - unlock me from adding friends dude, it's really irritating me.
