Happy birthday to you, I’m unfriending you! Ways to clean up your Facebook!16 May
I don’t really have time to go through my friend requests and weed out fakers all the time, so I generally add anyone I’m not super sure about until they spam me, then I report them.
So, I find the easiest way to continuously tighten your network without drastically affecting your online influence, or possibly your ‘Klout‘ score, is to do the following:
Each time you see someone’s name in your birthday’s list that you don’t recognize,
First, visit their profile
So I determined that Michael IS someone I met in real life, while visiting from england for a search conference. We haven’t interacted much, but maybe he’s on the brink of sharing something groundbreaking from the U.K. and I can verify he’s real and in our industry.
Next, okay, so ..Robbie, hmmmm NO IDEA WHO THIS IS, and we have no activity…if you look at his wall, his last activity was nothing helpful,
so he won’t share my stuff and isn’t a meaningful connection. Looks almost spammy, more likely a beginner computer user, not necessarily, possibly not english speaking.
- Plus the other spammy posts that are on his wall are indicative of an ‘unfriend worthy account’.
- Now if this person were to write me back, retweet some posts, show that he’s posting some great content, I would consider re-adding, but it would have to be genuine.
Lots’ of INTERESTING new things coming along…like my newsletter about ‘theKRONiS’ that will be live soon on ‘theKRONiS.com’.

I’ve also just begun to work on ‘Guitar Technician’ which is going to be a massive resource for guitar techs and guitar enthusiasts, bassists, singers and others online. I partnered with a professional guitar tech named ‘Vegas’ who has worked for many famous musicians and guitarists (from GNR to Sheryl Crow, to KISS, to Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan) as well as on my rig, but teaching me all along the way.
