It seems every time I get a handle on using Facebook, it radically changes its interface and I'm back to finding it mostly noise and chaos. However, because there are a few close friends of mine who only post to Facebook, I'm really hoping to get a grasp on finding some way to make it more manageable.

In order to do this, I have decided that I really need to reduce the number of folks on my Facebook friends list. I can reduce this list quite a bit by disconnecting from links which are associations and such, I think, but I will probably also end up unfriending some people who I feel I only tangentially know.

The purpose of this post is to stress that I don't wish for anyone to take this personally--I'm not unfriending anyone in real life, I just need to make Facebook more manageable if I am going to get any use out of it.

The people I am intending on keeping on my Facebook friends list are 1. people who are close friends, 2. people with whom I play Echo Bazaar regularly, and 3. a handful of writers and artists of whom I am a really big fan.

If you think that you may not be in one of these three categories but you would like to stay on my friends list so that you have access to my LiveJournal postings through Facebook, please send me a private message and I'll try to keep you on my Facebook friends list.
