Every time I read a facebook story here or elsewhere, I get the overwhelming desire to delete my account. The only problem is that there may be people I want to interact with that I don't have other contact information for. The sad thing is that I don't remember. I might just do it anyway…they can't be that important, right?

That was exactly my thought process when I ended up deleting my account. There were people who I wouldn't be able to contact, but then again, I never talked to them anyway even when Facebook made it convenient.

You can always suspend your account and start it back up later. Facebook will preserve all your information for you.

How about making you staus "Deleting my account on 12/31/10 -- EMAIL me your contact info prior to 12/31/10"

That's exactly the way I felt with "stuff", little things I collect saying to myself, "I'll need this some day". You know, a few old semi-functioning laptops, cable ends that I'm going to use (I swear!) on my next project, etc, etc. I had a whole room filled with this crap, until I realized, when was the last time I actually used something from this stuff, whose sole reason for existence was for me to collect, to then someday use. My answer was years - so I tossed it all a few months ago. You know how many times I've been working on a project and damned myself for throwing all of it out? Zero! Long story (sorry it's a slow day) short - sometimes you just gotta let go...
