Do you ever log in to your Facebook account and have a look at your friends list and think “Who is this person?” or “How did they get in here?” or “I don’t even like that person.” Are you tired of hearing from the compulsive Farm-ville achievement announcer? If so, it is time to prune your Facebook account. While some believe that more is better in terms of friends count, other feel like quality over quantity takes the cake every time.

It is easy and fun. Merely wade through your ocean of “friends” and if you don’t recognize, like or otherwise want to be connected to someone, just click the “Unfriend” button, recently changed from “Remove Friend,” in the bottom of the left most column while on that “un”-friend’s wall and voila! Gone.

Here’s to a friendlier, cleaner Facebook page in 2011!
