1. A method, comprising:
- executing, by a communication device comprising a processor, an application;
in response to the executing the application, batch linking, by the communication device, a social network contact to a contact of contacts, wherein the batch linking comprises;
removing a friend status of the social network contact, wherein the removing comprises removing the friend status without using external input received by the communication device;
determining that the social network contact linked to the contact of the contacts lacks the friend status; and
in response to the determining, unlinking the contact of the contacts linked to the social network contact that lacks the friend status, wherein the unlinking comprises unlinking without using the external input received by the communication device, and wherein the unlinking reduces a processing time of the processor.

Abstract
Management of social media information is facilitated. A method can include: executing a batch linking application; and batch linking social network (SN) contacts to contacts stored on or accessible by the communication device, wherein the batch linking comprises obtaining the SN contacts at the communication device, wherein the SN contacts are selected for the batch linking based, at least, on a correspondence to the contacts, and wherein the batch linking is performed by the communication device.

11. A method, comprising:
-
deleting, by a communication device comprising a processor, a friend status of a social network contact of social network contacts, wherein the deleting is based on a status update associated with the social network contact, and wherein the deleting comprises deleting without receiving user input to perform the deleting by the communication device, and wherein the social network contacts comprise linked contacts; and unlinking, by the communication device, ones of the linked contacts, wherein the unlinking is performed in response to the social network contact of the social network contacts being determined to lack the friend status, and wherein the unlinking reduces a processing time of the processor by reducing a number of social network contacts for which information is processed. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; batch linking a social network contact to a contact accessible to the apparatus in response to acquisition of the social network contact by the apparatus; removing a friend status of the social network contact, wherein the removing is based on a status update associated with the social network contact; and unlinking a linked contact based on a determination that the social network contact to which the contact is linked is determined to lack a friend status, wherein the unlinking is performed without user intervention, and wherein the unlinking reduces a processing time of the processor by reducing a number of social network contacts for which information is processed. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
