Eames Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm far more draconian than that. Examples: If status updates are not in full grammatically correct English - defriended. No I don't give a toss about your diet - you will always be a heifer - defriended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I've realised that quite a few people have deleted me off facebook The majority that I've noticed are exs or girls that I've got with on random nights, still.. that's no reason to delete someone deletion of friends on FB is good. i'm always deleting people off my friends list... basically if they aren't family and if i haven't spoken to them in 12 months, then they get deleted. weirdly i find facebook an excellent way of keeping contact with people that i dont really have time to meet up with or phone. A number of friends that travel and colleagues from old work places. They may put pictures up of their new cat or a status about a headache but the beauty of facebook is that i simply dont have to look at it. Rarely delete anyone, i just view it as a huge contact list with some extra benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely delete anyone, i just view it as a huge contact list with some extra benefits. Exactly this for me. I've actually refused friend requests from people who I know well and see frequently, because I don't need them to be on FB. "Friends of friends" and distant/long-ago/occasional acquaintances however are ideal candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i feel the need to get in contact (maybe I or they are in the area) or want to share a past memory then their they are and I have the forum to use their contact as i wish. I dont feel the need to use facebook to discuss items with close friends and family, I see them often enough. Another feature i enjoy is that we use facebook to document my sons life. Hes 1 and a half. By the time hes 18 he'll have access to every major event in his life. All document and commented on by those fortunate enough to share in it. Would love to be able to look back on my life in the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
