Unfollow me? Unfriend me? You are dead to me.


It's happened to all of us. You try to send someone a direct message on Twitter & you discover that they are no longer following you. You wonder why you haven't seen any posts from a Facebook pal lately & you discover that they are posting, they just unfriended you. THE HORROR!!!! Yes, the title of this post is tongue in cheek. But still, I'd be lying if I said it doesn't sting a bit when this happens. Especially when it's someone you respect or like. But hey, we all (myself included) have to remember, it's just the internet. It's not a life & death situation. I've read tweets from those screaming in pain after someone unfollowed them. Dude. That's embarrassing. I've been fortunate to have many people follow me on Twitter. Yes, not every single one of them has stuck around.

The funniest unfollow was Lisa Rinna who unfollowed me less than 2 hours after following me on Twitter a couple of years back. I dig Lisa. I tweeted about her book & did my best to promote it. I rooted for her on Celebrity Apprentice. I love that she's back on "Days". But yes, I still use the "That movie lasted longer than Lisa Rinna followed me on Twitter!" line. It's funny. Lisa is cool & I'll always be a fan! What's my point? Let these unfollows & unfriends roll off your back. Be classy. Nobody likes whiners and wants to be around them. Maybe those unfollowers will have a second thought and come back. Right Lisa? Lisa? Lisa? :)
