Leaving Facebook
I’ve been telling myself to leave Facebook for months now. I never have time to log one - maybe once a month - and I have these feelings of selfishness as a result: like I’m not giving anything back to my community of friends. You see, I might log in monthly to see what folks are doing; but I never really update my profile or offer anything in return. So, it feels like another thing I need to get to, and never really can (i.e. fail).
Sounds like a personal problem? I suppose, and it doesn’t really bother me, but I wonder if I need yet another online social responsibility? A simpler life is definitely what I’m after…
And I’m not the only one thinking such things. The Courier Post recently ran an article discussing the idea and the trend of leaving these online communities. Give it a read. What do you think?
PS: I can across Julian Smith’s 25 things I hate about Facebook again while reading, so I’m linking to it here:
