Defriending most people on facebook is easy. They rarely notice your brilliant posts have gone missing and would only find out should they check your page or happen to catch that you’re not in the friends section of an event invitation. Parents are different. First off, most of them only have 2-25 friends, so they can monitor the
number very closely. Additionally, the reason they’re on the site is to check up on you, so your content is like
The Secret to a cat lady.
My mom and dad aren't on facebook and if they were I wouldn’t unfriend them. That said, I know people who have overbearing mothers and fathers and rue the day they hit accept. It’s not that they don’t love the ones who gave them life, but it’s embarrassing when mom repeatedly mistakes wall posts for private messages. Not that my friend needed to be asked if he was still experiencing diarrhea from dinner the previous night, but he definitely didn’t need his friends looped in. If you’ve had experiences like this, I’m here to help. Here are a few moves you can use to defriend your parents without offending them. Note: some situations may requires a combination of moves for desired results.
1. The Friend a Parent Tactic - This is an advanced move. First you will have to unfriend your parents for a fictional reason (Facebook deleted your account or your account was hacked), and then you will refriend them. But wait, why would I friend my mom and dad if the whole point is to defriend them? Because it will not actually be you doing the friending! Create a dummy account with a secondary email, load some safe images in there, and add a couple friends including your mom and dad. Everybody wins... except your parents.
2. The Honest Approach - Tell your parents the dog ate your computer and that it caused your facebook account to blowup and then immediately block them.
3. Couples Therapy - Tell your parents that you heard a Dr. Phil interview in which he explained how social media is making people grow distant. Tell them that’s the last thing you’d want for your relationship and ask that you start connecting more over the phone. There’s some truth to this one. The best relationships happen offline.
4. The Wait 30-50 Years Tactic - Self-explanatory. Think about it...
Obviously, these suggestions are jokes. Honesty is always the best policy. The last thing moms and dads want is to annoy their children. More than likely, they just don’t know proper facebook etiquette and need to learn. If you bring up the topic gently you probably won’t have to do any defriending. Who knows, your parents might end up being solid friends... or at least they'll keep sending cookies.

MySpace just announced that over one million new users signed up for the site last month and an additional 40k have joined each day since. Most of them were middle-aged women that mistook it for the Justin Timberlake fan club, but whatevs. MySpace has become a content destination under the new leadership of Tim Vanderhook and associates, claiming to have a library of music bigger than all competitors including Spotify and Last.fm. 
The turn around is really shocking. It’s almost impossible to believe a group of tech investors could do a better job at running a website than Rupert Murdoch. Just look at that face and try to tell me it doesn't scream innovative digital genius. Btw, you may think he looks sad in this picture because MySpace is heading back to the top, but he's not. That's just gravity.
