I might be becoming a social outcast but I’ve done something that I’ve been thinking of doing for some time now.
I logged into Facebook, restricted as much as possible who can see what, uninstalled every application I could find, erased as much as possible my profile and then deactivated my account. I didn’t have the possibility of deleting my account or I would have.
I’ve never got into it properly, and it’s too much of a distraction, as my online life is nicely disorganised elsewhere and I have no intention of turning Facebook into my social hub.
I’ll just have to get by elsewhere.
Let’s see how this pans out and whether I’ll get any fallout from it. In the meantime you are welcome to leave comments on my blog, follow me on twitter and tumblr (justgraham), or email me.

Any special reason? Just hated it?

It seems to be a place where everything happens (apps-mail-social etc). I don’t want to entrust my data (or my life) to one place. I already have many other places and don’t want one more.
Besides that there is something wrong with it but I can’t put my finger on it.
