I’m taking a lead from Bijan and Fred and am starting to trim my Facebook friend list to “real friends”: people I know pretty well, old friends from school, etc. I’m starting with the folks I’ve never met, or only met once.
(If you’re on the “cut list”, sorry!)
I don’t have any regrets about trimming back my facebook “friends”
but it did create a number of awkward situations
I’ve found the ‘friend lists’ to be a great solution. Create a list for ‘acquaintances’ and give no permissions to it. Put all the trimmed people there.
I agree. Sometimes you just have to eliminate some dead weight. I am doing the same on my Twitter and unfortunately you are one who is not following back, so I have to cut you. Nothing personal. Best of luck.
