i hear bookface is the new trend

SkunkWorks 03-26-2012 06:22 PM

I'd unfriend OP too.

Ludepower 03-26-2012 06:42 PM

I dont add them the first time I meet them (only girls :alone:)...but actually chilled with them a couple times.

Every friend on your facebook serves as a networking tool.
I know I can ask questions or favors from everyone on my list.

Akinari 03-26-2012 06:43 PM

Never understood the whole concept around adding complete strangers to Facebook, and the whole "stalking" thing associated with browsing someone's content that was put on there for the sole purpose of others being able to look at it :pokerface:

I get Twitter, cause it's a totally different setup and it relates more to the networking cause, but on Facebook? :heckno:

fliptuner 03-26-2012 10:41 PM

So, Timpo, how many contacts do you have left that you're not related to?

lol, I don't really unfriend people.
I secretly like to "spy" and see what's going on in people's lives at random times
if that person ever pops up in my mind after a long period of time.

That being said, I have unsubscribed to many people that I no longer talk to or care about,
so that my news feed wall isn't listing a bunch of posts from people I don't care about.

I find it works better this way, as I'm not bothered by those people's daily posts,
yet I don't feel like I have burnt any bridges. You never know when you'll need to talk to them some day.

I do that with MSN too. I have a list of real friends that I'm close with.
And a massive group of randoms that I may or may not need to talk to ever again. But good to have just in case....

Ulic Qel-Droma 03-27-2012 11:21 AM

Those who have thousands of friends, and are all random adds, are kids.

Those who have very few friends, choose this path for privacy reasons (whatever reason that maybe), or are introverted, and/or, don't know how to utilize facebook for social purposes (and if they deny that fact, they are just ignorant).

Those who have a few hundred to a few thousand friends, but know all, or almost all of them, are the true extroverts, or people that know how to utilize the power of this social tool.

anyone who wants to refute this argument can. I'm ready to fire back.

LOL I'm guilty of unfriending people
I used to have like 350, but I went through my list one day and had like 40 people on my list that I didn't even know in person. I unfriended most of them, and also unfriended the annoying fuckers who kept popping up on my news feed, updating their statuses every fucking couple of minutes

I don't usually add people first. I don't really care overall
Unless they're hot, of course. In that case, I add them to piss my girlfriend off :whistle:

mikemhg 03-27-2012 05:07 PM

I unfriend all the time. Mostly because the new facebook newsfeed is shit. I see posts from fuckers and broads I don't give a shit about, while missing out on photo's and posts from people I actually do. I know you can change priority, but all that seems to happen is some other tardfucker ends up in my feed instead of someone I want.

Maybe I'm full of it, but it seemed early on Facebook it was way easier to see my friends posts and photos, where as now I seem to miss them half the time, and only see them when I actually visit their page and see a new album.

bd0n 03-27-2012 08:00 PM

Anyone else have those "friends" who announce on facebook their "cleaning" their friend list?

:rukidding:

I'd unfriend you, then add you again just to unfriend you.

lol.
All you have to do is unsubscribe to all the news feed of people you don't want to see.
It's a bit of a hassle at first, but eventually, you'll end up weeding out all the people.
