A friend counter would be helpful to tell you how close to the cap you are. Right now, I just count them by looking at how many screens there are in the friend section and multiplying by three. Or counting them individually. That is tedious. However, I would be more interested in them raising the cap as during the events having lots of friends is very helpful.
