Well if you want to become one of the most popular figures on Facebook, we've got a surefire way to rocket to the top -- break a couple Olympic records. In the days following his historic race into the record books, Michael Phelps has received well over 7,000 friend requests on the social networking site du jour (first Friendster, then MySpace, now Facebook, next -- FriendFaceSpace).
In an interview with Bob Costas on NBC, Phelps was told he had blown right past some of the biggest stars in the world (including Michael Jordan, Miley Cirus, and Will Smith) in terms of Facebook popularity. The swimming superstar (there's a phrase we never thought we'd hear) was swamped with four to five thousand text messages in the days following his record breaking race.
We really hope he has an unlimited texting plan. [From: USA Today]
