Hmmm

On Google Buzz when I view a profile, it says of (name redacted) "You are following (name redacted).  Unfollow!!!!!!  (name recacted) is also following you.  Block (name redacted)!!!!!!" (Emphasis and punctuation added ;-).

But seriously, it seems awfully sad that the options to cut someone out of your life are so gleefully supplied next to the indicators that they are important to you.  Like someone who came up to you and said, "Hey, you're friends with (name redacted), right?  Why don't you stop being friends with that loser?"  (chuckling evilly)  "Or perhaps you could stop (name redacted) having contact with you ever and lock (name redacted) in the dungeon of the cold shoulder!!!!!" (full fledged evil laugh represented by some variation on "Muahahahahaha," as my littlest sister likes to do).

(Redactor's note: the author of the above wants to inform the one or two people who are still reading his pathetic ramblings that italics, which the fine redactor of this piece has substituted for the uncouth all caps of his original intent, are not nearly as satisfying to the soul.  The redactor, in all modesty, wishes to note that while italics are indeed less expressive, they are also more specifically less expressive of offensiveness and little wit.  Take that, author of the piece.)
