A former blogoholic I have stopped the blog for now. I need to focus on teaching and living my life with my best Boo and pup! See you around the cybersphere!

Friendster - to de-friend or not de-friend. The question of the cyberdiss

Well a long day has passed and I am as of the moment unscathed. I shall be leaving shortly to go home to cook dinner for me and the boo, perform yet another exorcism on my now functioning (yet riddled with spyware and malware) PC and relax. I'm also feeling good b/c I have a phone interview tomorrow with a local university. I like free tuition. If only the job of professional student paid a living wage ;-) but working and getting free classes ain't bad!

The question of the afternoon

Is it ok to de-link people from your friendster?
Is it ok to de-testimonial people as well?

The advent of friendster poses new etiquette questions & Miss Manners (who knew she had so many books btw!) A friend and I had this discussion a while back and we never did resolve it. I was recently de-friended and it got me thinking again. Actually it is pretty funny in a Seinfeld kindof way. When I finally noticed (I don't have either the time or attention span to monitor these things) it was definitely a phone call to my best sista to say "Oh no she diin't."

I'd say it's ok to de-friendster. Especially how considering alot of people added 'friends' they really didn't know all that well when the site first started exploding. It's matured some what and now it's time to weed out the rifraff!

Good for you and your brother. I'm close to 2 of 3 brothers but I don't know if I ever will be to the 3rd. He's very conservative and doesn't deal with gays. Hence, he's the only one that doesn't know he himself has a gay brother -- me!

A certain weave we know did the de-friendstering which led me to more confusion than answers as to why other peeps were maintained as friends and I was removed. It is o.k. by all means but odd at the same point. Especially considering if you are not going to confront/speak of it in person. For example I am good enough to talk to me in the cafeteria and drink with out on the boulevard but I am not good enough to be your "friend"ster? MMMKAY then! Further signs you are in the words of the late Patsy Cline "C-R-A-Z-Y"!
