good article actually
and this bit is spot on
And the whole set-up had started to grate: so much pathetic posturing, fakery and careful cultivating of one's online "brand". People posted anything and everything, surrendering their own privacy and their friends. I didn't NEED to see pictures of strangers' weddings or the drunken holiday antics of mates' mates.
'Liberated'
I told myself that I'd managed perfectly well pre-Facebook and resolved to return to simpler times. I would still keep in touch with people I liked. I had a mobile and I was perfectly capable of bashing out an e-mail or penning a letter. And so I decided to de-activate. It only took a few clicks and was pretty painless.
