This will most likely be the one that people need to deal with most. Clean out all those friends
that aren’t really friends. You need to determine where to draw the
line for yourself. Maybe it’s anyone you don’t have a personal face to

Digital junk just expands.

What are your spring cleaning citeria? I have to admit Facebook is my most neglected and mismanaged network mainly because it doesn't return any investment I put in for business.
