Don&#8217;t do that. Keep connected only to people who are active, intelligent participants on the site; jettison everybody else. Facebook friends are not real life friends. You can unfriend somebody and keep their number in your phone. That&#8217;s allowed. Then, pursue lofty ambitions&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>  Facebook should not be a timesink where you slowly drown in all the half-remembered named of your youth. It&#8217;s a community like any other. What makes it great is that you control every member of your own community. Don&#8217;t like a contributor? Kick them out! And you&#8217;re left with a customized circle of the most wonderful people ever. (This works unless you don&#8217;t know any wonderful people.)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metafilter.com\/95662\/The-Face-of-Facebook#3279599\" title=\"MeFi: The Face of Facebook: Rory Marinich\">Rory Marinich<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Facebook should not be a timesink where you slowly drown in all the half-remembered named of your youth.
