Stopped using facebook (and orkut) back in late 2007/early 2008. Never looked back and am much happier for it. However, I've taken some flak from friends for not being visible.
- lukeqsee 14y agoQuite the early adopter (in two ways). Do you think you miss out on any elements of "real life" because you aren't on it?
- arjn 14y agoNot really. I have a close-knit group of friends that I keep up with via email or phone. Same with family. Its somewhat amusing to see all the negative news about social-networks and realize it does not affect me (directly anyways). The big annoyance is when I see sites/services that require a FB/twitter login.

- graue 14y agoQuitting Facebook in 2007 must be the modern equivalent of quitting email in 1990. http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/email.html http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/email.html
- arjn 14y agoBack then I preferred Orkut to FB. It was harder deleting my Orkut account. Didn't like FB then, don't like it now. I thought the interface sucked, its probably better now but I'll never know :)
