Facebook outs defrienders

edited September 2011 in Chit chat
I've been busy all day but perusing my Daily Mail I see that Facebook is bringing in a timeline that shows who has 'defriended' you over the last 3 years.

If there was a blip then you can investigate and look for a pattern.

    You always did know who had de-friended you but most people have too many friends to notice/care anyway.

    I'm not quite sure how to interpret this ... does it apply to when a person declines a friendship request or if the friendship has already been established and then a person severs the friendship?

    It just means you can look at a timeline of when friends were added and removed instead of only being able to see the current list.

    Good look with that you have to deactivate it then wait a whole 2 weeks for it to be deleted. If you accidentally click a facebook link on any other site or piece of software that is linked to facebook it will automatically reactivate it requiring you to re-deactivate and wait a further 2 weeks.

    The first time i tried deactivating it i think i was 1 day from deletion and i opened spotify and accidentally clicked my facebook link thing and it reactivated it.

    Also even though your account is "deleted" the info is still kept on the server including all your photos and messages.

    Ah, that'll explain the backwards demonic messages and the sulphurous smell wafting out of the PC when I visit FB.

    I heard that every time someone clicks a "Like" link Zuckerberg stamps a kitten to death.

    Nah! That'll be the massive strain on the computers hardware as it attempts to load the page in in under 15 minutes :D

    Shutting a FB account down can be tricky... Normally you can only deactivate it, but your personal data remains, so you have to jump through hoops to find the correct page to permanently shut the account and for your personal data to be removed.
