Shedding Facebook friends

I just shed about 80 Facebook friends. Mostly it was people that I just don’t talk to anyway. There’s no malice in it, just a desire for simplification. I’ve still got 160 or so friends in there for now, which is more than I follow on Twitter, but I’m not actually on Facebook much. The way I see it, the lingering benefit is that I can still have correspondence with people over Facebook without subscribing to their updates. Good stuff. I would hope that anybody out there who isn’t actually interested in what I’m up to or what I have to say would go ahead and un-friend me also. I’d much rather be focused on the people I really want to hear from and the people who really want to hear from me. So if we’re still Facebook friends, then you’re pretty thoroughly awesome in my book. And if we’re not still Facebook friends, you’re still thoroughly awesome, I’ve simply changed the channel.
