I chose to cull facebook instead. No regrets.
- aphyr 17y agoYeah, I'm doing that today as well. I'm going to miss the photos, but FB trying to sell my info to everyone is getting old. I wish there was some sort of federated social network, where everyone could provide their own lists of friends and activity streams (i.e. http://activitystrea.ms http://activitystrea.ms), and clients I authorized through openid/oauth could read it. Use pubsub for updates, some sort of common JSON or XML representation for users and their graphs...
- axod 17y agoJust remember we're all outliers here. Everyone else in the world is on facebook, addicted to farmville, posting stupid comments and uploading bajillions of photos. When you remove yourself from things you lose potential to make money/build businesses/etc etc. idk I think if you're doing anything that targets "average people" you should do some of the things "average people" do, so you know their pain points, what could improve things etc. Personally I find it really useful for keeping in contact with friends + family. Far better than anything else I've found anyway.
- losvedir 17y agoI think this has become the "I don't even own a TV" among those who don't even own TVs. But basically same for me. I rarely go to facebook anymore. But new messages get emailed to me, and they have that neat feature where you can just reply to the email and it posts it to facebook. No need to even visit the site!
