Each month, day, hour, or minute depending on how severe their problem is, people sign-in for a dose of facecrack while simultaneously fulfilling their twit-diction. The trend of social networking addictions has detached some people from reality. The news of Rihanna re-following Chris “The Woman Beater” Brown on Twitter has reiterated how seriously people take social networking. Some fans have unleashed their fury because of RiRi’s move. And where else other than the internet did they release their anger and concern because they are pissed at RiRi for “go[ing] back to him”. Rihanna's response: "It's f*cking Twitter, not the altar! Calm down." She later apologized for her remarks...Umm but anyway last time I checked social networking is not a true depiction of real life relationships. Yes he beat her like she stole something and will always be wrong for that. And perhaps it is a little strange to follow someone on any social network who whooped your ass. However this so-called incident further proves that people take friending, unfriending, following, and un-following way too seriously. Just because someone adds you doesn’t even mean they like you. There are those people who have imaginary relationships with people on the internet…cracks me up every time. Others might be adding you to stalk you and fall asleep to your pics, or talk shit about your life, or maybe they genuinely like you, but who really knows what people’s intentions are for adding you? As far as kicking people out of your social life I mean how upset can you be when someone gives you the internet boot, it takes hardly any effort. After all I’m sure all of us have clicked someone else out of our lives. So next time you notice someone has removed you from their friends list or un-followed you remember don’t get your feeling hurt and go off confronting people. “IT’S JUST NOT THAT SERIOUS”.

though it is interesting that she follows chris brown again (i personally wouldn't have) i think her response was appropriate. it's just twitter. people are super serious on there tho about following and unfollowing. this one guy on my timeline is always talking about his old account where he had 18,000 followers and how he misses it. like so what?! as far as facebook, for most people, they don't personally know all of their "friends" so idk why they'd be offended if one of them unfriended them. like the guy said, i unfriend people if i get tired of seeing statuses about things in their lives that are way too personal or ones that i deem offensive. also, i think fb and these social networks have gotten us used to knowing everyone's private business so when we're cut off from that we don't know how to take it at first. like "wait, i'm tryin to see if she still goes w/ ol dude!"... sorry, u can't. u have to "add as a friend".
Lol Caryn you are so right we have gotten used to seeing and knowing everybody's personal business. And yes I will straight up delete someone who's status updates offend me or just plain old annoy me. It's really not always personal when you're removed from a friend list.
1st of all Rihanna started that fight with Chris Brown. She is no where near close to innocent as all you women believe. As far as the friending thing goes; who cares. Most people on FB are associates anyways. Nobody really has 1000+ close friends if you think about it. People have to realize that the internet is a false reality. If you don't think so then walk up to one of your friends and say you are un-friending them. See how that situation turns out. lol
okay, i think i have 12 friends on facebook. I also belong to a family group on fb. i hold all my "friends" close to my heart and i will not be unfriending any of them. I guess i am just old school. If you only friend people who are your "friends" then alot less unfriending would go on! I know spoken like a mother. Like i said "Always do what your moma says"
