Just completed a massive scrub of all of my social networks – deleting every connection that I had little reason to connect with. Where there is obligation, there is also risk – at least opportunity risk. When your network of friends gets too big, you risk not investing enough in the ones that matter most. Less is often a good thing.

I do that from time to time, too, and damned if some of the deletees don't then re-friend me. Awkward.
Just went though my purge, delete and block – one level deeper. Thinning out the herd.
