Facebook's 'unfriend' is Word of the Year


New Oxford American Dictionary announces its “Word of the Year.” For 2009, that word is a verb, one with which we in our social network-obsessed culture should be very familiar: “Unfriend: To remove someone as a ‘friend’ on a social networking site such as Facebook.”As in, “I decided to unfriend my roommate on Facebook after we had a fight”. This is crazy! Facebook has made history! MSNBC reports this story along with CNN talking about the issue of Facebook and politicians . At first I thought this was a joke. But boy was I wrong. Check it out and let us know if you this is as crazy as I did!
