Have you been toying with the idea of de-friending all those annoying people on Facebook? Jimmy Kimmel says you should go for it.
Kimmel recently called for Nov. 17 to become “National Un-Friend Day” (NUD), a holiday where Facebook users are encouraged to “unfriend” people who aren’t actually their friends.
“Here’s how to tell who’s really your friend on Facebook: post a status update on Friday afternoon saying you’re moving this weekend and ask for help,” Kimmel says.
“Remember five years ago when nobody was on Facebook and you didn’t know what the guy you took high school biology with was having for lunch? Remember how that was fine? Let’s go back to that,” he says.
Are you going to do a Facebook friend cleanse on Nov. 17, Lovelies?

I’ve already cleaned mine out for the season. I’ll give it another while before I do another clean-out.

Why would I do that?
I’ve met some great people in life. Who knows when I’ll want to contact them? I’d rather just keep all the friends. I’ve met every single one of them at some point. It is like a collection of my past, in a way. I’m not participating in National Unfriend Day.

I was just thinking about this the other day. But if I did the ‘I’m moving’ thing and only kept people who commented I would be deleting all but maybe 2 or 3 people.

I now have about 1,200 friends. A few weeks ago I legit went through all of them and if I didn’t know 1) where and when I met them and 2) something about them, I would delete them. This included people from my very well connected Chicago-suburbs area who I “know of.”
I think it’s dumb to say that one can’t have a thousand friends. The term “friends” has been redefined in the past few years, especially when MySpace became popular. The word itself no longer means what it meant twenty years ago.

Geez, nice. I didn’t see this until today, but I noticed that I lost a couple of friends yesterday… I thought it was something I did:(

I went from 520 friends to 295 over the course of a few months. It felt good
guest
Damn! I just did it this morning. I guess I could have waited a few days.

This is a stupid idea. What about all the friends that don’t live near you? Or family members that are far away. Or what about those friends that you need help from on chemistry or calculus, etc, but wouldn’t necessarily help you move? And not everyone is in the position to move. No one would believe I was moving. Thanks for another dumb idea, Kimmel.
guest
i need to do a clean up, bad. but i have a few people that i looove stalking,lol.
guest

guest
i already did that almost a month ago! i erased 60 “friends” 60! i was pretty schoked too. those 60 i didnt even knew (or at least i didnt remember them) lol
guest
it’s just like Myspace, the more friends, the more popular.
guest
I did that clean up over the summer, now I have 129 from over 400, it’s more believable.
