Often the people who friend or like others on Facebook aren’t friends at all. Perhaps there’s a common interest, and with the click of a mouse, a Facebook friendship is born.
According to the Washington Post, Mitt Romney lost nearly 593 Facebook friends between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Friday morning. The losses are happening so quickly, the drop in numbers can actually be watched. A click can launch a friendship as well as end one.
A two-minute study was conducted on Romney’s Facebook page at 4:42 a.m., CT, on Sun., Nov. 11, 2012, and he had 12,053,104 likes.
The page was refreshed at 4:44 a.m., CT, and he had 12,053,097, totaling seven unlikes within a two-minute time span. If the “unlikes” continue at the above rate, within 60 minutes, Romney would lose 210 “friends.”
If you want to join in the fun and watch the mass exodus from Romney’s page, disappearing Romney is a site set up just for that purpose. The site gives a live feed to Romney’s Facebook statistics, as Americans abandons the failed Republican presidential candidate.
