1000 seems like a pretty fair limit to me. Heck, if I were running Digg I'd have capped it at 100. I do think it's not fair for them to state this explicitly, though. Part of participating in any community is the community making its rules known.

Now if you can remember all of your 1000 friends, you ought to join NASA or the FBI. I'm sure they could use someone with that kind of memory capacity.

I get roughly 10-15 friend requests a day since the last major site overhaul was implemented at digg. I don't mind adding people on as it gives them a slightly increased chance for visibility especially when they are first starting out at digg. The people that will be active or inactive usually sort themselves out in time. If people don't stay active I'm going to start eliminating them. But yeah putting limitations for friend making on a 'social' website seems kinda flawed - maybe they're doing it to try and reign in the spam - who knows.

Mrs. Dogood, I am with you on this, It's a is a ridiculous rule. If Digg allows you to make friends with an unlimited amount of people at a time (remember when they capped it at 4 every 15-20 minutes),they encourage "friends" and the social nature of the site. I don't understand the limitation either. Policy marked as lame!
