Facebook Study: Why people friend and unfriend each other (Yahoo! News)

"Offensive comments" top the list of reasons for unfriending

Still hurting over being unfriended on?Facebook? If?William Shatner can't make you feel better, maybe knowing the reason why you got the boot can give you peace of mind. A recent?study by NM Incite reveals the most common reasons why users friend (and unfriend) people on the?social network, and it could help you pinpoint where you went wrong along the way.

Receiving offensive comments and not knowing much about the other person are the top two motives for removing others on Facebook, followed by sales talk and depressing comments. And, even if people with thousands of friends make us wonder if they go on friend adding sprees sometimes, personal acquaintanceship is still the top reason why users add each other on the site. Knowing someone through mutual friends or through a business network comes next on the list.

The study also reveals that men and women generally have different activities on the site, with women using Facebook more as a creative outlet, a source of?coupons and promos, and a way to give products or services positive feedback. Men, on the other hand, use the social network to connect with business contacts, to find a job, or to find a?new romantic interest.

Why were you unfriended?

HBT: Are Cardinals in play for Fielder?

After Albert Pujols signed with the Angels, the assumption was that the Cardinals would move Lance Berkman to first base and potentially make a play for free agent outfielder Carlos Beltran. However, in a series of tweets this morning, Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch indicates that any such plan isn?t necessarily set in stone.

We?ve heard some conflicting reports this week about whether the Cubs are actually a legitimate suitor for Fielder. The Blue Jays have been mentioned, but we can probably rule them out if they land Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish. The Mariners and Orioles are also believed to be in the mix, but it?s not known whether either club would be willing to give him the massive long-term contract he desires. Fielder doesn?t turn 28 until May, so it?s not inconceivable that he could take a shorter deal and test free agency again in a couple of years, but it?s also possible that his agent Scott Boras is just trying to get more teams involved in the conversation.

Autom The Diet Robot Now Shipping In Time Nog Season

I've been following Autom for years now, first interfacing with this happy little robot in China and then watching her grow into a young, intelligent diet robot. What does she do? She's designed to help you lose weight by talking to you every day and getting to know your habits and peccadilloes. Autom sits on your counter and asks what you're eating. You tell her, through on-screen prompts, and she reminds you to weigh yourself and gives you moral support. Although you wouldn't think a little plastic robot could help people shed the pounds, you'd be surprised by what a non-judgmental, plastic baby can do for your self-esteem. During testing, users began to dress their robots up in funny clothes and came to consider them friends.
