1. A method, comprising:
- executing, by a communication device including a processor, a batch linking application;
in response to the batch linking application being executed, batch linking, by the communication device, a social network contact to a contact of contacts, wherein the contacts are accessible to the communication device, and wherein the batch linking comprises;
receiving, by the communication device, the social network contact, wherein the social network contact is selected for the batch linking based, at least, on a correspondence to the contact of the contacts;
removing, by the communication device, a friend status of the social network contact, wherein the removing is based on a status update associated with the social network contact, and wherein the removing comprises removing without intervention by a user of the communication device;
determining, by the communication device, that the social network contact linked to the contact of the contacts lacks a friend status; and
in response to the determining, unlinking, by the communication device, the contact of the contacts linked to the social network contact that lacks the friend status, wherein the unlinking comprises unlinking without intervention by the user of the communication device.

9. A method, comprising:
-
identifying, by a communication device including a processor, social network contacts having a friend status; identifying, by the communication device, linked contacts; and deleting, by the communication device, the friend status of the social network contact, wherein the deleting is based on a status update associated with the social network contact, and wherein the deleting comprises deleting without receiving input to perform the deleting by the communication device; 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. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a memory that stores executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising; selecting a social network contact for a batch linking; batch linking the social network contact to a contact accessible to the apparatus in response to acquisition of the social network contact by the apparatus, wherein the social network contact is selected for the batch linking based, at least, on a correspondence to the contact; determining whether to perform the batch linking without input external to 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 intervention by a user of the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
