I forgot to mention that I deleted my Facebook profile. It will take me some time to get used to the feeling of not being part of a social network anymore (at least a virtual one) and I will have to rediscover ways of connecting to people without being able to poke or IM, but it already feels much better. I spent too much time on Facebook, and I didn't like the way Facebook developed. The adds, the things people put on, I asked myself: "Would I want my daughter to be on Facebook? (I know, she's only 1, but time flies) " When I answered negatively, I wondered why I should be on Facebook if I didn't want by daughter to be on it. So that's it.

I have no desire to be on Facebook. I'd rather choose my friends than have them choose me!
hi, i'm from argentina, and i think that facebook its another tool like messenger or blogs like this.. people must decide to be or not in them.. but nobody has to make someone delete counts of this social networks.. that's as I see.. thank you,and excuse me for my english xD
considering canceling mine. . .it's linked to my twitter, which is there for my educational "network", but i too amrealizing I'm spending too much time online and not enough doing life. Considering canceling cable/tv
Miss Teacha~ Great idea! We don't own a TV and we also don't have cable radio, just a few stations and that's it. What I need to see (news e.g.) we can watch online, and it makes life SO much more relaxed.
MMT~ That's true! It's interesting how some people add you as a 'friend' but IRL won't even greet you in the supermarket.
A great decision! I have never been on FB but, as it progresses, the horror stories are becoming increasingly common. Also, it can be a dangerous place for teachers to be.
