Why I Unfriended You On Facebook

By Adam Schweigert | September 16, 2012

About a year ago I de-activated my Facebook account for a couple of months and then, before I started really using it again, aggressively culled many of my Facebook “friends”. Here’s how (and why).

About Me

adam schweigert

I love building things and connecting dots. I’m passionate about using human-centered design principles and technology to connect people, build stronger communities and make the world a better place.

I’ve worked with small nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies and most recently spent my time as director of user experience at Mother Jones and before that as senior director of product and technology at the Institute for Nonprofit News working at the intersection of nonprofits, open source technology and journalism with a smattering of product management, organizational design and community building.

I’m always looking for a good challenge, opportunities to learn new things and big problems to solve.

Want to chat? Get in touch. Want to know more? I've got a longer bio here.
