1. Delete Your Friends in Social Networks is a new social action hosted by Cometos.

2. It is dedicated to the dehumanizing process propagated by social networks.

3. Large numbers of friends which everybody seeks to gain are targeted to break real social relation among people.

4. The true act of communication is possible only between small groups of people, communicating in immediate way.

5. Social networks could be used just for exchanging blank information among family members, true friends in real life and for business purposes.

6. Social networking is more like playing with people than relating with them. Social networking is sharing, downloading, uploading, resharing, commenting, reacting (it is better to react inadequately – simulating your real opinion in the direction of “everything is ok” and “I like it”), acting, writing, posting etc. Real relations are first of all LISTENING and then STATING your OPINION. And, of course, the true social contact must be audible, visible, touchable, smellable and sensible in any sense in both directions (between two communicating sides) at same time and in short distance.

7. Social networking unifies all people. They become nano elements of global network of one relation.

8. “One relation” means, that communication process has no moments of crisis or flashes of rise. It is superficial, irresponsible, artificial, fragile and blank.

9. Social networking is oriented to one direction. A man is like transmitter constantly and unstoppably posting blank messages about himself. He does not make distinction between valuable information and invaluable.

10. A social networker does not realize that only one type of information is important:

a) information, which is announced and produced by one or a few people;

b) information, which is presented after some time of working on it;

c) information, which is offered for the audience after analytical, deductional, inductive or after any other method of thinking about some kind of material.

11. Social networking takes much time. Sending and responding to the blank information is a long and troublesome work.

12. For social networking it is very important to take part in different affairs as often as you can and to respond to different types of information as often as possible. It shows the level of your social networking abilities.

Well, it was one of the best social actions directed to social networks. I just wanted to recall it. Some time ago Burger King offered for Facebook users to delete 10 friends and get a free Whopper sandwich. The reaction of Facebook was not very social:

“Facebook® has disabled WHOPPER® Sacrifice after your love for the WHOPPER® Sandwich proved to be stronger than 233,906 friendships.” Here is the link.

As I mentioned, Facebook acted not socially. On the other hand Burger King showed the real foundation in social networking relations: THERE ARE NO RELATIONS. People responded really normally: they freely deleted their friends for the sandwich. Oh my God!

It is not social to forbid to break relations. The democracy in social field means being free in both: accepting and ending of friendship.  The sandwich is just a cause to act socially: to filter and to clean up your cupboard of friends. I do not feel a difference between 50 or 10 000 friends. I can not be nor PRACTICALY neither INTIMATELLY closely related to 50 or to 10 000 of them.

So, social networking reminds me Google’s attention to fresh content. It is a field of global involvement of people into space of vacuous spending of time. The time which is spent with 100 000 of friends. Can it be really good time?

But the most important thing is that people subconsciously feel it. They are completely involved but at the same time they can delete friends without a worry. Whopper sandwich is more real than bunch of virtual friends. Isn’t it true?
