Facebook is the new litnus test for friendships, relationships and acquaintances of all kinds. I no longer wonder if a date du jour is worthy of introducing to the family but rather do I want to friend him on facebook. Today I might be inclined to do so but in a month I may want to rescind that and it's easier not to invite him to the party than to ask him to leave once he's arrived.
I have unfriended one person and her feelings were hurt to the point we no longer speak. Wish I hadn't been so hasty to click her into my facebook life in the first place.
Other people I keep but block them from my news feed. They're usually connected somehow to my kids and I want to see the photos of my family but not hear the details of their friends' wild and crazy lives.
My kids tell me they would never have friended me on facebook when they were single. Tmi works both ways.
