This could turn into a series of posts. But first, we start at the heart of it = junk. There is so much crap on Facebook that I don’t give two **** about and for some reason, it really bothers me. I don’t care about your Farmville whatever. Or your Zombies. Or your “I bet we can get 1,000,000 users before you can” campaigns.
Thus, I’m making a resolution. One that I have already put into action:
“The next person who asks me to be a fan of some random contingency I care nothing about…you’re getting defriended.”
I’m serious! So serious that I’m keeping a running tally of those who have fallen off my bandwagon. No, I’m not into Facebook to collect friends, like some/most people. I’m in it for innocent stalking/snooping! Half kidding.. but for reals, I’m cleansing my list of “friends” – if you are my real friend, you’d know I don’t care about irrelevant fan groups, dumb applications and time-wasters. I have my own lengthy set of indulging time-wasters. Trolling Facebook isn’t one of them.
Thus, back to my defriending initiative. I may even extend it beyond irrelevant fan group requests and dumb applications. It probably will overfloweth into the “random posts to my wall” category as well. Don’t include me in a survey. Don’t include me in a list. Unless, of course, you want one less “friend.” Onward!
THE LIST (for the sake of anonymity, I’m using initials instead of real names). Also included is the reason for removal.
- 2/26/10 KTC: Suggested I become a fan of “** FARMVILLE ** 25 FV CASH GLITCH ** GET IT BEFORE ITS FIXED!” — adios muchacho.
- 3/14/10 AH: Tagged a photo of me in the album “Who stalks your profile” — then proceeded to comment on the “photo” – there is no album, no photo… just a “chain letter” type thing which I care nothing about — later.
- 3/14/10: HMR: Suggested I become a fan of “Twilight New Moon! First 10,000 Fans Get a Free New Moon DVD!!!” – not gonna happen.
