This is the perfect time of year for some pruning – of your “friends” list...


Have you pruned your friends list lately? 

It’s a tedious job – but it’s worth taking the time to do. By deleting some of that dead wood, you’ll help eliminate some of the clutter in your news feed. You’ll also be limiting your information to a more restricted group of people. A new Pew Research study says there is a lot more unfriending going on these days. 63% of respondents reported deleting individuals from their “friends” lists – that’s up 53%. The top reasons given for “unfriending” are:

• Frequent/unimportant posts
• Polarizing political or religious posts
• Inappropriate or crude posts
• Excessive commenting, liking and poking


Even if your posting habits are harmless, your friend status is not guaranteed. 27% of friends were deleted for something they did OFF line.
