Kimmel Gives Facebook Users the Nod to NUD

Come on, do you really know all of your Facebook friends? As in, you've met them, spent time with them, have a bona fide relationship with them that qualifies as friendship.

TV personality Jimmy Kimmel says of course you don't. And that's all the reason to cut them out of our life, on Facebook. He's declared today "National Unfriend Day," or "NUD." To explain: "NUD is the international day when all Facebook users shall protect the sacred nature of friendship by cutting out any 'friend fat' on their pages occupied by people who are not truly their friends."

This isn't the first time there's been a movement to rethink our relationship with Facebook. Over the years, campaigns stemming from privacy concerns, time suckage, or the dominance of the world of Zuckerberg have roused people to kill their Facebook page or take a hiatus.
