I found it when I had some questions about how others felt about losing friends or being the dumpee on Facebook. I found you post thoughtful and it helped me make a decision about how I will manage my friends from now on. Thanks! It's been awhile since you posted this entry.

Or when you're breaking up with someone, do they really need to know why you defriended them? It's kind of obvious. I think the more people use social networks the more they realize that it's easier to not add acquaintances in the first place. Question for you- while Andrez wasn't notified of being dropped, did he see you in his friendlist? In other words, is the functionality bidirectional or just unidirectional?

The only problem is that I don't know how nice were your comments before, so it doesn't help ;-) See you! Trying to figure outin which sense your comments are “less nice” than before.

But I wonder, do you stay on their friend list, and can they still see your full profile? If so, this amazes me and certainly does not meet expectations.

If you really wanted that, I guess you should de-friend everyone you know, who knows someone, who knows your boss. I'm still not getting this social networking thing though. 5 years ago I was considered a freak for hanging around forums and icq, today I'm lame for not having a facebook or myspace account. What has happened during these 5 years? But I have a flickr account, a gravatar, an openid, ... and again that's considered geeky. Should I just wait a few years?
