Six Words…Sounds so simple but really isn’t. (at least wasn’t for me)

Those words? Brilliantly you!

Don’t tell me that you keep track of your friends on FB. And after you have a large number of friends, just how would you be able to figure out who unfriended you?

Or are YOU doing the unfriending?

There’s more to this story…do tell!

Six words. Only six words?? Yet you said it all.
Ha ha ha ha!
Yeah, Facebook unfriending – what’s that about?

{did I get it right? or have I missed the point?}

Well I was NOT brave enough to try and limit myself to just six little words.
The same way I am a total FAIL at Wordless Wednesday.

My post is Something I Am Passionate About.
Hope you’ll come and read – it’s called Why I Can’t Stay Silent.
Its about Depression. Not that I’m passionate about Depression.
But I am passinate about not Staying Silent.

Kim June 2, 2011 at 9:07 am

Okay, I’ve got to admit, I’ve unfriended a few on FB and here’s why :) I don’t know them, don’t remember them from high school or they were siblings of a high school classmate. It all happened because I read an article about how those “friends” on FB might take some of my information and not be friendly with it! But I made the mistake in the first place by accepting their friend offer. Now I know to accept only those I really really know and am friends with :)

Nice job on your Six Words. It took me all day to get a good pic! Mr. Linky was not very cooperative today. You can delete one of my thumbnails. Thanks for the challenge!
