Shouldn't everyone's answer be 1 since more than that is in violation of FB's TOS :)
It is again FB's TOS to have 0 accounts now? Wow. :-P

Not only that, it's easy for them to enforce that.
When I recently tried to create an account (from Germany) Facebook required me to enter a mobile phone number. It wouldn't let me create an account without. So you effectively you need a mobile phone number for every account.

Just use prepaid SIM cards to verify as many accounts you like.

#26Why the heck would ANYONE have multiple accounts? Doesn't that even violate the TOS? :S
Re: Poll: How many Facebook accounts do you have?
#27I have 200+ accounts, from when I was first learning how to program and was automating some tedious mutlplayer strategies in a text-based facebook MMO game. Was a fun way to learn! The game was called Warbook, and I believe the creator is on HN (hi TJ!), and doing some YC gaming company.
Wow I almost forgot about this game, I just checked and it doesn't seem to work anymore. I also wrote a bot to play 50+ accounts for me, mainly to generate gold and sell them. I made about 2k USD via paypal, and my programming was so much better after that.

Nice. I had $5k worth of gold for when it was selling for $10/billion, but then the price crashed since I was slow and supply had gone up while I had stopped playing. Oh well.
Re: Poll: How many Facebook accounts do you have?
#29I gave this argument differents thoughts, not only having different accounts violates Facebook's TOS but Zuckerberg states it is "immoral" to have more than one account so people should be ashamed of it.
I can understand his position, he has to enforce the fact that every active user on Facebook is a real user.
Now, let's rule out developers that until lately were forced into this behaviour, there's plenty of people out there using multiple accounts. Plenty of people using multiple accounts on daily basis. For example people running businesses/marketing with their account instead of page and much more importantly you know who's using more than one account? Casual gamers, those who play games on daily basis. Every Zynga game (just to point out the most successful ones) is a spam factory forcing users to spam in order to advance in their games, users are aware of this and start their "gaming" accounts. If you didn't think about this yet, just try and check how many people descend from the "Games" family (and that's only for english speaking countries) these days, impressive growth. Now check the "Cityville", the "Farm*" family and so on.
And there's plenty of other categories.
Once I read that Madrid had two times as many accounts on Facebook as the real city population. Now you could point out we don't know how many of this users are counted as active, of course Facebook will never point out the number and will always defend its strenght, but that's something people should think about.
Re: Poll: How many Facebook accounts do you have?
#30If you're developing Facebook apps or using Facebook authentication, you pretty much have to have two or more Facebook accounts. The problem is that having more than one account is against Facebook's terms of service, and they don't provide a developer sandbox.
You can create test accounts through the API. I actually have a terminal script where I just write "fox" and it opens up a new Firefox profile with a new Facebook test user in it.
