De-friending Professional Contacts on Facebook
“I recently restricted my Facebook account to close friends and family and “de-friended” 205 people. Click after click banished former and current managers, co-workers and other professional contacts. They can no longer access my page on the social networking site.
I wanted to tell them, “It’s not you, it’s me. I just need more privacy. I know you don’t care about my vacation pictures.”
From Arizona Central. While Facebook has ways to, up front as you set up, to limit access to your profile, this article talks briefly about people who set up their account to be open then later change their mind. I point this out because it is another example of how people are learning to think in social contexts online. For myself, I use LinkedIn to connect with my professional contacts and Facebook for family and close friends.
