Unfriending a Facebook "friend"
Yeah - i’m thinking about doing it. Not so much because someone pissed me off but my intention of connecting via Facebook was to do just that - Connect. And in at least 1 instance someone from along time ago accepted my friend request but i’m not sure why as my communication attempts have gone unanswered (be it awhile back).
So what happens when you break up with someone via facebook? What happens if you see them in person? If you have told someone you are dead to me online what happens in the 3D world?
I could be making a big deal about nothing but I really expected more from this person (There definitely is 1 more I’m contemplating but they have 1 more chance). Actually I may lean up my friend list anyway. I’m too old to be trying to have hundreds of Facebook friends (another post on the age thing coming soon). I only want those who I care to see what’s going on with them.
Crap but what about those professional contacts? My intention was to have Linkedin serve that purpose and facebook be fun but there are some professional peeps made it over that could go but now i’ll have to keep for fear of them taking offense.
OK so we are going to go with this - i’ll Facebook email the 1 person on the chopping block and see what happens. The message will be sent with a timebomb attached and upon detonation each party will have 1 less friend. As far as leaning up my list I just did a quick glance and there are 5-7 people that could go but I guess it doesn’t hurt to keep’em.
