10 Reasons To Delete Your Facebook Account

you know... i totally get where you're coming from. it seems like the whole world is on facebook now.
the first time i signed up, i was so creeped out; before even entering any information, it suggested all these people i might know... including my coworkers, former boss, random people i designed websites for (because i guess they had all uploaded their address books and had my email address in there), etc... i was so creeped out i immediately deleted my account.
fast forward about a year later, almost all of my friends deleted their myspaces and moved to facebook. i started to feel left out, so i finally caved and made a new account.
of course a bunch of work people requested me, but the privacy settings are pretty good; you can put people on different lists and decide exactly what parts of your profile or which photo albums they can and can't see... so you can hide certain stuff from work people or family if necessary.
plus i just don't post anything too personal to begin with, to avoid any lamebook worthy incidents.
but i totally know what you mean; it's kind of crazy to find everybody you've ever known on one website...

My ex use to troll my Facebook page to see if I was flirting online with other chicks.
I did not.
To my surprise, though, I logged onto MySpace recently and saw her hitting on dudes.
I'm about done with both, actually.
It's come to that point where I'm just saying shit on my Facebook page that will piss certain people off so that they delete me from their friends list and I delete them from my physical life.
Yeah, I connect with all of my family that lives away from me, but I also have all their phone numbers, and a simple text message is seeming much more appealing to me now than a "wall post".
