I recently deleted my Twitter account. Probably in the next few weeks, I'll log onto Facebook, request email addresses, and delete my account there too. Facebook has taken on too much of this "take over the world" corporate attitude.
- rinze 10y agoI deleted both of them at the same time at the beginning of the year (and I was a heavy Twitter user since around 2008, with 6k followers). I don't miss them at all. Sometimes I even find myself involved in thoughts that span several minutes and grasp sending long e-mails to friends that result in proper, meaningful conversations.
- criddell 10y agoAll I have Facebook for is to connect with family. I don't like brands and I don't follow anybody I don't personally know. Twitter is where I follow people and organizations for which I don't have a personal connection. This separation works pretty well for me.
- bigbugbag 10y agoYou should invest in a phone line, those are great way to stay in touch with your family. Direct interaction works way better that going through a middle man.
- criddell 10y agoWhy would you assume I don't use a phone line? Maybe this didn't occur to you, but I also want to share photos and video. I mean, I can describe my daughter's piano recital, but they seem to enjoy seeing and hearing it as well. > Direct interaction works way better that going through a middle man. Who has time to lay all that copper and build their own telephone exchange? I'm happy to pay for middle men to help me out.
