there’s an article in The Medium that talks about the “Facebook Exodus.” the short of it is while there are so many people joining facebook every single day, there are the few who are ditching it.
i must say, i am one of these facebook-quitters.
in fact, i would say i quit facebook quite a long time ago. so many people talk about “wasting their time” on facebook. after using it for a year, i found that’s all that i was doing – wasting my time. while people say they are scared of privacy, stalking and many other reasons, for me it came down to the fact that i have limited amount of time and i’d rather do something else.
i still maintain a presence on facebook through autoposting (way to go posterous), but i’ve been over it for quite some time. steve rubel had a post the other day about everyone putting their phone number on facebook. i’m against this, for me at least. that might work if you limit friends to those you interact with, but i took the other approach and friended those who i knew at one time. so… a lot of those people i don’t want calling me.
if you want to call me, email me and ask for my number.
