Facebook Timeline Shows Who Has Unfriended You 113
An anonymous reader writes "Currently, Facebook does not notify you when someone unfriends you on the social network. That may soon change with the upcoming Facebook Timeline feature, which will soon replace your current Facebook profile. Unless Facebook changes this, you can actually see who has unfriended you during any point in time while you've been on the social network."

When you unfriend someone all they have to do is look at their friends list and see you missing to deduce that you've unfriended them.
It's not like some big secret. People can already easily find out.

Which in itself is another social - stress-or. Everybody has "close" friends and every on in a social group can usually tell who each others best friends are. You are kinda in a person's top three and they are almost always in yours or you are not.
Its always pretty clear and there is really no way to conceal it. Its tolerated we all understand we can't all be each others best friends. Beyond that I think its really rather impolite to rank and classify your "friends". I think I generally have a pretty thick skin but I certainly would not feel good about X effectively making a public announcement that I mean less to him or her than Y. I would not want to make such an announcement about X or Y myself.

The obvious engineering solution is to replace the close/distant friend dichotomy with a sliding scale from 0 to 100.
Now imagine how much arguments and hurt feelings THAT could generate... "I thought we were at least 75 % friends but you put me at 62 %, how dare you"
