  1. I have 2 comments: the first is, have you unfriended someone as a result of this article, Jimmy Kimmel's national unfriend day, or unfriended anyone in general (exes excluded)?

    The second is a quote from Aaron Sorkin- the guy who did The Social Network. He said,"Facebook is to socializing as reality tv is to reality."

  2. Ha! re: Aaron Sorkin - Very true.
    And no. I didn't unfriend anyone as a result of this article or Jimmy Kimmel.
