The importance of social networking in building relationships and career success has risen greatly in the last years, but the ‘Is It Time to Delete Your [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app) Profile’ flowchart asks if you’re using the web for the right reasons. The tongue-in-cheek chart helps readers decide which [social networking platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/statuz) is best for them, based on how and why they use the sites. Facebook, Myspace and Friendster all get shout-outs in the chart, created by GOOD.is, and a quick outline of what material is suitable for each networking tool is given throughout.

I know I’m not alone in saying that I think this lighthearted ‘Is It Time to Delete Your Facebook Profile’ flowchart would be useful to those who [clutter the Facebook feed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unplughero) with a hundred cat videos a day, or those awkward too-much-information status updates. Check out the chart for a laugh, and maybe a few social networking tips too.
