Ono needs to lose some friends

Yoko Ono has reached Facebook's 5,000 friend limit and has asked the platform to raise it so she can accept new friends.

Yoko Ono has a problem - she's just too damn popular. She has reached the 5000 friend limit on Facebook, meaning she can't add any other wannabe friends to her Facebook page unless she first kicks out existing friends. Yoko writes on her Facebook blog: "Facebook currently limits users to 5000 friends, so if you have a pending friend request, please be patient, we're looking into getting this limit increased to accommodate all new friends in our family of peace and love. I love you!" Ono has started using her Facebook profile as a primary way for communicating with fans of her and late husband John Lennon. Given Facebook is keen to launch itself as a competitor to MySpace in the band social network market, presumably they'll be quick to comply with Ono's request for an increased friend capacity.
