A new crisis has enveloped the entire social networking system
when, after the initial IPO of Facebook went public this past weekend, millions
of people on Facebook began to unfriend
each other. Immediately the stock, which had an initial value of $38 dropped 4
points, and set off another panic wave of un-friending. One analyst predicted that
if the trend continues it could bring down the entire global social network
structure much like Greece did the European financial community. An analyst
from the Academic community says he’s been warning of this crisis for a long
time now. "Once people start to unfriend each other, no one wants the stigma to
be the first person unfriended, so they start unfriending people pre-emptively.
Before long total panic takes hold and everyone is un-friending everyone – even
their own mothers!”
Congressional leaders begged their constituents to stop
unfriending people, but since they were the first people to be unfriended, the
message had little impact. Leaders from the RNC really had no comments on the
crisis, since most of their constituents have few friends anyway, and think
that Facebook is just some sort of Gay dating scheme. Mitt Romney offered help in
the way of a statement in which he said “he
knew of some people who had once Facebooked, but right now all of his friends
are in the Cayman Islands and don’t have time for other friends unless
they haul in more than 10 million bucks a year.”
The Obama administration have
yet to comment of what action they might take, but it is rumored that Bo, their
dog, has been unfriended as well. Other social networks such as Linkedin and
Twitter, are concerned that the wave of unfriending could spread to their
social networks as well causing a global social network collapse.
