<p>I don’t get it. I was friends with some folks & then today when I was on facebook, somehow they weren’t my friends any more so I had to re-friend them & they had to re-accept. I don’t understand. Is that common? My friend count went up to like 50 & now is down to about 17 or so (I don’t go on Facebook often). I don’t think these people would have unfriended me because they added me back as friends immediately but I find all of this very puzzling and confusing.</p>
<p>Sorry, I think they defriended you.</p>
<p>Sorry, think I have multiple accounts so it’s confusing. Several of them confirmed that they have friended me at least twice on two accounts. 
I find the new media confusing & confounding! :(</p>
<p>yeah. I noticed that too today.</p>
<p>Maybe they are leaving Facebook for Google+??</p>
<p>Do you have to be invited to become a member of Google+?</p>
<p>As of now you do. They are still in “Beta”. I am on both for now, but google+ seems to have a lot of interesting possibilities and on first glance, at least at this stage, seems to have less opportunities for spam, sharing your personal info, and greater ease of keeping personal pics and such away from people you might not want to see them.</p>
<p>Isn’t the term “unfriended”? </p>
<p>FB seems to be doing some “updating”. Yesterday I could not use the chat function at all. I got a prompt to tell me about it…but that was it. Today I got “Try It Now”. </p>
<p>Whatever. I didn’t notice if anyone had “unfriended” me or not. Honestly, it doesn’t matter that much as long as they don’t "unfriend’ me in person.</p>
