I did it!
If you don't use it, why keep it? I never liked Facebook so I'm not sad. It's an early spring clean & it feels good! :)
I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Not sure why Facebook doesn't grab me. I do like being able to see pics from other family members though. Maybe I'll ride it out a bit longer. Congrats to you for your decision!! :)
Good for you! I have a personal account, which I use for sharing photos and catching up with friends far away. My other account just collects "friends" I've never heard of (or they for me)...
wow, I never even thought of turning it off! I am impressed at your strength and commitment. I could never get rid of my personal or business one. Not because I rate them, you understand, I actually totally agree with you, but because I am weak...
I so agree! I also quit mine a long time ago... I feel more at peace now.. I survive not getting silly updates from people who I haven't know for 10 years - or wish I had not known;)
LOL! I hate Facebook! what an inspiration you are! now you don't have to worry about friending and nudging and about offending those who you don't friend and don't nudge....
Good for you! FB, or 'Fecebook' as I like to call it, has actually been a source of a lot of unwanted drama for me. I first joined in the Fall of 2007, at the urging of a co-worker, but quit in July of 2008.
One of my so-called 'friends' actually accused me of being anti-social, of trying to disconnect myself from people and from life... For me, it boiled down to:
1. Most if not all of your 'friends' are far from. If they weren't simply co-workers or people I knew from high school, they were 'frenemies.'
2. Things that happen on FB are not 'real' or are extremely exaggerated versions of reality.
3. I wanted to live in the real world, with real people, with all of the good and the bad: the real friendships and relationships and even the real rejections.
Of the people I really care about, they know my email address, my phone number, and my home address. They know where to reach me and I'll always be there.
I may not have 6,475 or whatever 'friends' but lately, I value the real, true ones more.

ReplyDeleteHaha. I should do the same :-)
ReplyDeleteI love facebook :) But sometimes I use it daily and sometimes monthly :) I have a dutch account on hyves... I'm thinking of deleting that one :S
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the list... thanks for the lead. FB's been merely a nagging in the back of my mind, and it's no longer there!
ReplyDeleteI should think about it also, I don't really use it... Good for you!
