A survey made by Facebook revealed that a big number of people are “ defriending” people within the social networking site. Social network users defriend or remove people from their personal pages because they now control strictly who has access to their profiles or photos.
A research shows that half of the Facebook users has defriended someone, and that they are more cautions about friendship, in opposition to the initial excitement of joining and connecting to anyone.
Fcebook users say they feel uncomfortable about people looking through their profiles and lives, and they decide to remove those people not so close to them.
The trend is to protect privacy on the site, and that is why Facebook revised and redesigned its privacy controls and settings page.
Although the maximum of friends on Facebook is up to 5,000, the research shows that many users have an average of 120 friends.
I think that this article points out to something completely true, because people are taking care about their relationships, and sometimes virtual friends are not the same as real ones.

I agree with you. Although facebook is a useful tool to contact new people such as friends(in the case of those who want to meet some),or business people, it is also a dangerous tool. When adding too many people that you don´t know to your facebook profile, always bare in mind which information they are getting from you.Besides, facebook creators had already had too many problems with privacy policies.So, I think that we should be more careful with the kind of personal information we give and which people we add. Sometimes It is better having fewer contacts than risking your privacy.

I think that it is the best desition facebook users could have taken.I think you can meet people and chat with them but it is not neccessary to reveal your personal information. I also agree with Izzie. It is a dangerous tool because you don't really know much about that person. Kelro
