Basically, it boiled down to: being whiny, annoying, constantly self-promotional, overly political, or bitchy.

I cull my follow list pretty frequently, and it's almost always the super-whiny ones who get the axe. And I got rid of Facebook completely. Heh.

I find I do the heaviest trimming during major political and news events and when people start live-blogging shows I hate (especially American Idol).<br /><br />I don't lose followers very often, but when people do unfollow me, I don't take it personally. I figure they're just not into what I'm talking about at the moment. I know I can be irritating, and I'm okay with that. lolJenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07038255852917636476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-74836437297418900762010-09-01T19:22:22.601-04:002010-09-01T19:22:22.601-04:00I do drop the blogs that don't post often (onc...I do drop the blogs that don't post often (once every year..) and those that ramble about things I really have no interest in ;p Facebook, well I have a big note on my wall asking people not to friend me as it's just a method for people finding my blog :)<br /><br />http://damselinadirtydress.blogspot.comNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648307410383451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-36268215709009020962010-09-01T18:00:24.432-04:002010-09-01T18:00:24.432-04:00Belle, you're safe; I'm not heartless enou...Belle, you're safe; I'm not heartless enough to ditch one of my own authors...even if said author snarks my choice of e-reader. *snicker*<br /><br />Barbara!
