Friends come and go, even in social media. It is not so much which world has the most friends or if we are good enough friends with people to keep them. In social media, it is all about networking and for some, that means we keep our list of friends as small as possible and others, it means having as many friends as possible.
Below is an infographic on how people add and remove friends on Facebook. It is interesting to note that the top two reasons to add friends is that you really do know them or you have mutual friends. Everything else does not really matter statistically. Yet, the reasons for removing friends is a much more diverse list.
Is their a unique reason you add or remove friends?
