Beginning of 2011, my new year resolution was "less facebook". I am glad that I have kept it. The way I did was, stopped posting stuff over there. As I figured I am more keen on what people are liking/commenting on what I post. I know it is not fair entirely on my friends. As I am not entirely off it - and I consume but don't produce any thing over there. But I had to do something drastic as my work is more important, and I could not have waited for good social usage patterns to evolve. Mostly, I respond as a private message, if I see something which I feel compelled to comment on. Even if some friend posts on my wall, or on some occasions inquire about my silence, I try to do the same thing. I am wondering if in Jan 2012, I should go back there or not... PS: I do waste time on HN too. But I honestly feel, I gain something out of it as well. The quality of discussion is very high. And the kind of stuff posted is to my taste. I also use Google+ to discuss something with friends. The less number of people there actually helps, in a different way.
