How often...

do you clean out your FB friends list?

I ask because the last time I purged mine I caused hurt feelings. In my defence, it took them 3 months to notice, so I don't really know why they were so pissed. If we were actually friends they would have noticed/cared a lot sooner!

Re: How often...

  • I try to do it every three months or when I remember.  I have had people ask me to be friends again months later.  I agree that if they were such good friends, they would have noticed sooner.

  • I was just thinking about doing it this week.  Far too many people on there that needn't be.  The hard part for me is that I am SO involved in the local business community that I get a ton of requests from people I know that way.  They're pretty harmless and I want to support their businesses, but that also means I have to walk a fine line of appropriate vs inappropriate.  As for the old high school friends, most can go....if I haven't spoken to you in 20 years I don't need to start now.
  • I've never done it....I just try to keep everything that's posted to my profile PG rated....I've got all kinds of connections on there, even my mom and grandma. It would take forever to go through and make the cuts!

  • I never have.  Well except when I decided I wanted to stop participating in my knot month club board and deleted them.

    I sometimes wish I could make it be more exclusive but never take any actions to do it.  maybe I should...

    I really have difficulties wrapping my head around being "friends" with co-workers, random ppl from high school, friends of my siblings, and distant relatives of my husband (what is with the 16-22 y/o set wanting to friend me simply b/c they are IRL friends with my sibs - more so to keep up with Jack I guess...)

    i've gotten a few of these too - or it's like, sibs of someone i went to high school with but don't even know well!  and i can see how anyone would want to keep up with jack (b/c he is so. freakin'. adorable), but in my case, they don't have that excuse Wink

    that said, i just don't accept those invites.  i think i've only cleaned out my friend list once, and that was mostly just moving people to limited profile.  i try to be pretty careful about who i add in the first place (though my list is still way too bloated).  maybe this will spur me on to clean out some old coworkers i haven't seen or talked to in years Stick out tongue

  • I'm actually working on that this week. I know it will sound pathetic, but with over 150 friends I just can't keep up with them all (I miss status updates and pics from people I want to see in the ocean of updates that are waiting there every day).

    I hope I won't cause any hurt feelings, but if I have to think about who someone is or they don't notice for months that I've removed them, then well...yeah. Tongue Tied
