When your friend count on Facebook goes down and you have no idea who's left you?

Is there anyway to find it other than to actually run through all your friends and hope you notice who's missing?

my advice is to just check to see if you pissed someone off. Or if you realize that someone who used to post alot isnt posting anymore.

No idea.

Don't take it personally. I dumped work employees without telling them because it was dumb to add them in the first place.

I dump people all the time, just because I don't care to read stupid posts from people I barely know about other people that I don't know at all who are getting married and knocked up.

That, and I find myself using it less of an entertainment thing and more of a tool for keeping in touch with people that I actually want to communicate with so I tend to cull the herd of those that I'm never actually going to interact with in any sort of meaningful way.

My policy is to accept friend requests from anybody I legitimately know, and then to never really look at facebook. I don't really get how it works, except that it appears to be LAMP and is buggy as hell.

^This

My advice to you is to go outside the house and find actual people to be friends with, and keep track of them using that grey thing between your ears before the internet turns it to mush.

It doesn't matter unless it was your wife.

It doesn't bother me, but I'm not on facebook anymore.

When I was, it was mostly people I knew personally that were my friends. I wasn't adding people just to look more popular like the kid with more imaginary friends.

I didn't have my workmates or boss on as friends because I didn't associate with them outside of the job.

It is much easier to track when you only have a couple of friends

I think the only safe thing to do is dump all your friends on Facebook. The ones that call saying "WTF DUDE!" are the ones you reactivate. the rest are clearly electronic hangers on and electronic welfare cheats, sucking off the productive facebook members of facebook society.
Facebook welfare. Don't mend it. End it!

Yea that could be a problem.

I just created a facebook account two days ago, so can't say it really bugs me.

My husband asked me to go steady by saying "Want to make it official, and put it on Facebook?"
He will never live this down...

Pure win.

I actually use facebook so little, I have no idea how many friends I have on it.

I class my friends as people I can ring up and talk to whenever, not send them messages.
