YDC: But I've been working on cleaning up my facebook friend list

Posted by MDH (aka MDH) Feb 27 '13, 08:15

So, when facebook started, UMD was one of the first schools on it. basically this means, anyone I had a class with/met/was in my dorms friended each other. In addition, everyone from HS friended each other.

I told myself that I have 1,000 friends on here, and definitely do not keep in touch with many, nor care to for many. I went through my list one day this weekend and removed all of the people whom I had no idea who they were (mainly people in 1 class of mine, or those I met at parties). Since then, I've been removing people that pop up in my newsfeed that are HS people I don't need contact with or other college etc. people whom I don't know, etc. I went from 1,000 to 866 i just a few days.

Not that I have anything important or private on facebook, but it's nice to see that number shrinking towards the people I want to keep in touch with or those that are closer.

- Right? I went to HS in MD, and went to UMD, so everyone just sent friend requests. I don't keep in touch with HS people, so most are going. - MDH Feb 27, 08:22
I didn't delete people, per se. I just put them on the restricted list and then hid them from my feed. - spamlet Feb 27, 08:20
I try to stay right around 350. and I actively manage friend lists. managing my online brand is very important to me. -- nm - amanda Feb 27, 08:19
Good job using the system the way you want rather than the way Zuck wants. I try to keep mine lean too, much to the annoyance of others. -- nm - Qale Feb 27, 08:18
There is a better way. - Spawn Feb 27, 08:17
