Wow this is an amazing news. Something I truly believe in. Jimmy Kemmel announced on his Live Show that on 17th November, let us all truly be honest to ourselves and celebrate a National Un-Friend Day (NUD). He said that Facebook has actually worked hard on eradicating the essence of real friendships. The day is to be celebrated to protect the sacred nature of friendship that Facebook is destroying.
He feels that Facebook is cheapening friendship. One cannot have 1000s of friends realistically. Like he says, put up a status update you're moving on weekend and you will actually see how many people are your true friends if somebody responds to help you out. And that people keep changing their status every 5 sec, such people can't really have 100s of friends actually. So, he suggests to cut off such people from your life as friends are people who are very special and who actually mean something in your life.
He even went on to explain further, that through NUD, he hopes that people will un-friend all those people from their list who are actually not your friends but you call them friends on Facebook. The show's website gives details of who is actual friends are :) which are as follows:
• If you wouldn’t loan someone 50 dollars, unfriend them.
• If you wouldn’t invite them to your birthday party, unfriend them.
• If you wouldn’t cry if they got hit by a bus, unfriend them.
If you like NUD's thought, you're gonna like this video. I love the way William Shatner comes in the end and says '''These people on facebook, They are not your Friends.' Spread the word :):):)
NUD - Nov 17th
