Today (November 17th) is National UnFriend Day. How do you plan on celebrating?

That sounds like a really really unfriendly name for a day. I will celebrate "National Unfriend Day" by not changing anything about my typical behavior. I will remain friendly when appropriate and try to avoid all circumstances where an unfriendly attitude is suggested or required.

I took a quick look through my.

Well.... this has been a dilemma for me on any system that allows friending and following. I.e. If I friend/follow a large number of people that I have some interest in keeping track of, I risk missing the most interesting news from the people most important to me amongst all the flood of info from everyone.

But, a lot of the value of having tech like this is that you can keep in touch with a lot of people that you otherwise wouldn't. Be able to. People who study interpersonal relationships recognize the importance of these "weak ties"... -- Quote Interestingly, strong and weak ties tend to serve different functions in our lives.

When we need a big favor or social or instrumental support, we ask our friends. We call them when we need to move a washing machine But if we need information that we don't have, the people to ask are our weak ties. They have more diverse knowledge and more diverse ties than our close friends do.

We ask them when we want to know who to hire to install our washing machine. A well balanced social network has both types of ties. -- /Quote psychologytoday.com/blog/thinking-about-... scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2009/08/12/t... smg.media.mit.edu/classes/library/granov... So... what about National UnFriend Day?

Well, as you can see from the above, Jimmy Kimmel isn't telling me anything I didn't already know, and wasn't already taking into account in my "friending" decisions. Maybe better words can be found instead of "friend", and I certainly hope the tech improves so it becomes easier to manage the fact that we have different degrees of closeness to people, and are interested in different aspects of their lives.

The wonderful thing for me is that this is a really special day for someone like me. I am so excited! I do have a whole lot of facebook friends but isn't that just on facebook?

Does anybody actually realize that having online friends doesn't necessarily mean real world actual friendship? Don't get me wrong because I have some amazing online friends. In the real world I don't need to unfriend anyone as I don't have any friends.

I cleaned out 25% of my friends list. Jimmy Kimmel has it all wrong though, in order to edit your friends all you need to do is go to the account button in the upper right hand corner, then click on edit friends... names will appear, select all friends, and click the x's to get rid of them. You do not have to go into each page individually... I guess he and his staff are not avid Facebook users...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
