: Freedom to DifferDe-friending
In a guest post for Mashable David Spark (@dspark) offers twelve great tales of de-friending:
De-friending has always been awkward. Social networks offer one click ?remove a friend? options, but it still doesn?t make the decision any easier.
What follows is a collection of stories about de-friending. In summary, what I discovered is that everyone approaches their social network differently and it?s impossible to communicate all those nuances when you choose to de-friend.
As you read, keep in mind that these are all one-sided stories. The interviewees made their best guess as to why the de-friending happened or how the offending party felt after being de-friended. I purposely didn?t include stories of de-friending romantic exes because those de-friendings are obvious. If you see a real name and in some cases a link to their profile page, I received permission to publish. In all other cases where people wished to remain anonymous, I replaced their name with the first name of one of my ex-girlfriends or one of my wife?s ex-boyfriends.
