on the turning away

I remember signing up for facebook when it first came out and was only available to .edu users.  The other day, I finally deactivated my account to try and see what living without the social networking beast would be like.  So far so good.  I chose not to delete my account because if I ever decide to come back, I don’t feel like rebuilding my list of friends and going through all that hassle again.  If you need to get in touch with me, just use instant message, email, telephone, or text.  We’ll see how long this experiment lasts!

  1. I didn’t know this existed.. Just subscribed. But I gotta say, I found out about this blog via your Twitter account, where you just followed me. So aren’t you still living with social networking? ;)

    I’m surprised how feel people use email. Then again, when you email someone, they can pretend they didn’t get it or you had the wrong address or they don’t check that one. When you FB message them, or even worse, write on their wall, they can’t ignore you. It’s an interesting difference…
