Two days ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. Not only have a gotten 3 email notifications saying that someone has been trying to log in to my account, but it has been mentioned to me around 20 times as to did I really do it, and why I did it.
Even though none of these people will probably read this (considering they are more than likely on Facebook right now), I just wanted to mention that my reasons for distancing myself from Facebook are no different than distancing myself from any other distraction. It simply takes up too much time. And the more and more features the site adds, the more and more I don't get anything done. Messages, photos, photo tagging, wall posts, wall replies, the chat box, the bumper stickers (which I keep deleting, but it keeps reappearing), friend requests, the poking, the notes, status, relationship statuses, religious views, political views, what you're "looking for," people you may know, all the groups, group discussions--and the list goes on! Since I have deleted it, I have been so much more productive online, and just in general.
Overall, I can see how the site is useful and I do not condemn those who use it. I just know that for me personally, I am capable of so much and hours and hours spent into an internet networking website makes it almost impossible.
