You've felt it: when somebody you follow or subscribe to annoys you, a little bit more every day, then finally does something to make you realize that you very much don't want to be associated with them any more, and you have this epiphany: you're not really friends. Not in real life. There will be no adverse repercussions to just defriending, unfollowing, or unsubscribing from that person. So you do it, and your online world just keeps on spinning, because nobody you only know via your social network is significant enough to have to wade through a bunch of bullshit you don't want to see or read. It doesn't matter how good-looking they are, how many other people like them, or how cool they seemed originally. You can just scrape 'em off and keep doing what you do.

Social networking beats real life again.
