Social Question: Facebook Purgatory

Read the question and comment with your response! ^_^

This is a question that I adapted from a quiz that caught my attention on gizmodo.com. I found it quite hilarious, but the way the original question is phrased is far to accusatory, so I changed it to the following.

Here is this week’s social question:

Have you ever contemplated leaving people in Facebook purgatory whom you do not want to accept, but are too afraid to deny?

Here is my response to the question…

Leave a comment here or hit me up on Twitter via an @ message to (Ex. @macdavid) and add this tag in your tweet so that I can track it later: #macsocialquestion. (No direct messages please, otherwise I can’t track it. Sorry.)

@natyca: “i learned: keep your friends close but your enemies closer from the count of montecristo :)

drewmgriffin: “Just as long as you continue to follow me David and remain my friend on FB!…”

Patricius: “To answer the question. Yes, I have left people in FBP. Several times… usually people I don’t know. But recently I’ve just turned my FB into a whore account and just add everyone, and just don’t put anything private on it. I mean, private stuff shouldn’t be on the net anyway, IMO.”

bbautista: “I’ve got a few that I haven’t approved, but mostly because I have no idea who they are and they look a little sketchy. If I know someone, I usually approve them because I never put anything on Facebook that I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to see. Same goes for Twitter… anyone can see it, so I keep things pretty generic.”

edwinv: “I’ve only dropped one person since joining FB. The reason being is he continually kept spamming the timeline. If you’re going to do that, create a fan page instead. Since then, I’ve been a little more critical as to who I add on there. If I don’t know the person I more than likely will not approve them.”
