About twice a week I get messages from okcupid, plentyoffish and match.com informing me of a new match or message. 90% of the time is some woman I wouldn't be caught dead with even in a Rob Ford drunken stupor.
It's annoying and I don't plan on putting in any work into online dating so it has to go.
As for FB. I manage two of my websites social media accounts. I decided to start using a social media management tool (hootsuite), to set up an automatic drip of posts and updates to my FB and twitter accounts. This way I only have to respond to people contacting me on my business pages and retweets.
I deleted or blocked all non-business people and non-family from my account. I kept a few friends who I actually use FB to talk to. I filled up my page with either important people I want to follow or services, information and news outlets that cater to my interests. Boom no more BS posts to worry about.
It feels better to have more control over my social media usage. If you can delete facebook, do it, for me it's part of a revenue stream so I won't abandon it, I'll moderate it.
From now on if chics ask if I have a facebook page the answer will be no.
