more about this idea...

Ever have those Facebook friend requests from workplace people who are just "work friends", one's you really don't want in your life outside of the office?

OR

Friends from High School or your way off past who are fun to talk with at first, but insist upon inserting themselve back into your life?

OR

Creepy people that you are just afraid to say NO to because you see them regularly still.

OK--so, give me something to nicely eliminate those 'don't be in my personal life' souls and non-souls alike.

I am not a facebook fan, so I wonder: If I kick-off my boss, will he receive a notification: "XXX does not want to be your friend any more" ?? Will all my other friends know that I have kicked him off? Nice!!

Your boss won't know unless he looks for you in his friends list. People don't receive a message when they've been unfriended. Something else you might try is separating your work life from your private life. Get all your work relationships hooked up through something like LinkedIn then send a message to your Facebook work connections and tell them that you've decided to move all your work connections to LinkedIn because it's more professional, etc then unfriend all the work people. I did this last year and I never have to worry about saying the wrong thing and having it become a problem at work.
