'except from a handful of key people' Agreed. If I was only facebook friends with the 10 people I really am interested in, I'd hardly notice the difference.

I don't want to go through and remove all the loose friends I met in college one-by-one, though. Twitter is much more relevant to me; I'm only following around 50 people, all of which I deliberately chose.
