New trend: deleting your Facebook profile. Would you do it? Not me.

There is a significant number of my friends who are saying Facebook doesnt bring enough value and are deleting their Facebook profiles or considering deleting them. I dont know why particularly French people seem to be reacting like that.

Two main reasons behind that radical move for them, it is because their consider Facebook does not add enough value for them or for Facebook becoming less and less a private place.

I would not delete mine, would you?

I deleted my account last night, due to the reason that every time I logged on all I saw was how my friends were out partying, were in a relationship, or just posting e-drama, so I got less and less motivated to talk to them. It was becoming everything I hated about Myspace, so to speak.

I don't regret it at all, in fact.

I think everybody will just get used to the new public way Facebook works and we will all have forgotten about this soon

I use Facebook like a glorified addressbook of friends & family but hardly for anything else. Its slowly turning into everything I hated about Myspace.

Facebook has become a paradise for narcissists. I just don't get it - why spend ur time on a media like facebook to pretend that you are something that you aren't?? i mean, who the hell have 500+ friends anyways?!! I deleted my profil after 5 years, and i absolutely dont miss it at all!!! WHy not?? - there are many reasons, but one if them is that i dont need to know about ur dog having an affair with ur neighbours cat - and if i did, id rather see it IRL than read about it on Lamebook!!

Too many drama queens on facebook, not worth bringing me down!

i will not delete my RIGHT to access a page i've used. to delete the page, a person has no more access to it. deactivating is a really cool feature because the user still retains the right to access the page again if they change their mind. for people who've had their page for YEARS ... i think they should really THINK about what they're doing, instead of going on impulse because it's "new" and a lot of people decide to do it, so they go along with it. nope, i will not be deleting my page.

@iAmCodeMonkey I just deleted my facebook. No body talks to me anyway. Everybody was getting married and shit so "Forget them." They are not going to miss me anyway.
