I deactivated my facebook account today. I'm quite happy with it. It asked me for a reason. I'm not sure I have one precise. I just realized I didn't get anything else out of it.
Here is the positive I got out of it, and what I'd rather do:
-1- See what happened to old friends, stalk on their pictures... Keep in touch with my friends. If I don't have their phone number or personal emails, maybe they are not so much my friends...
- 2- join some causes I didn't do anything for... Get more involved in the organizations I work for, or volunteer with.
-3- Flair/bumper stickers.. I may miss that.
- 4- Discussion forum on the NFP group... Delphi forum discussion!! :)
-5- See my husband's twitter updates... Well I see my husband every night, I can spend more time rubbing his feet and listening to his day :)
The only thing that kept me that long was to collect people's email. Until I realized #2. Also I made some friends with #4. But those who became my friends have now other ways to connect with me..
- do you see anything else I will miss on Facebook?
Because I don't.
Previously "a frog's life", we now are settled in France, probably for a few more years. We now have two kids and big plans for our little garden. A sort of old fashioned American homestead 20 miles from Paris.

I'll miss seeing you on Facebook - but you have my email now, right, and at least I can keep up with you via the blog. And I'm rather smug about introducing you to the Delphi group - I was hoping you'd enjoy that community! So I suppose I'll still see you around - quite a bit even - without Facebook. :-)
We older folks have just begun using Facebook and already I am beginning to feel a little overwhelmed by it.
I think it's really useful to saying hi to people I went to high school and college with but after that...what?
Hi..uh it's been 25 years....but uh hi.
I don't know.
I hope it doesn't become a time sucker.
I congratulate you for opting out.
