Happy National Unfriend Day! Don’t see the holiday on
your calendar? Sorry, you’re going to have to take our word for it. After all,
it’s a fairly new event, having been declared earlier month by late night talk
show host Jimmy Kimmel (I bet you didn’t know that the job description bestowed
such honors).
Kimmel has declared today a day for “cutting the fat” on
your social networking connections. As he put it,
Remember five years ago when no one was on Facebook and you
didn’t know what the guy you took high school biology with was having for
lunch? Remember how that was fine? Let’s
go back to that.
We’re not expecting you to take all of your marching orders
from a late night comedian (and, let’s face it, when push comes to shove, he’s
no Conan), but it’s certainly a good excuse to reexamine some of those tenuous
online connections. Video of the holiday after the jump.
