i find that i enjoy using facebook a lot more when everything i see relates to someone that i care about, when i look at someone's update and i think “i don't give a damn about what they did today” then i remove them from my facebook

Rob – Exactly. People who are on social media to push are completely missing
the point and missing a huge opportunity to create connections, add value
and build relationships.

I found your article while researching a related question, and I have to agree with your take on it. Just as you would automatically avoid anyone whose sole interaction with you in person was to rabidly promote themselves, I shun anyone whose sole involvement in the online social networks is to push their personal brand, promote their column, or try to help you add to a number they can brag about on their resume. You wouldn't have anything to do with such a shameless user in real life, why would you countenance one online in a social forum supposedly designed to connect actual friends? Nice piece.
