The average adult wants to spend time with only 10 percent of people on their list of Facebook friends, according to a new survey conducted in the UK by VoucherCodesPro.

The survey found that users of the social networking site are reluctant to delete people from their friends list because they are afraid they'll miss out on updates.

"It seems with the results of this study, the old saying about keeping your friends close, but your enemies even closer, is definitely alive and well even in today's society with our reliance on the internet," said George Charles, marketing director of VoucherCodesPro in UK, which conducted the survey of 2,863 adults over the age of 18.

Inspired by the study, the Hong Apple Daily daily conducted random street interviews with Hongkongers to see what they thought about Facebook etiquette.
