I disabled my Facebook account over a month ago. It was tough to do at first, but as time went by I felt much happier about being disconnected. I've enjoyed having less distractions and false reassurances. I no longer need to keep up with everyday posts from people I don't know that well or rarely see. In this time away from the site I've realized that real friends will still be your friends even if you don't have a Facebook account. Facebook will be surpassed by another site sooner or later. Just like how Friendster, MySpace, and others were. It is just a matter of time.

I tend to agree, and read recently that young people feel its no longer hip but are kind of locked in [ how I felt leaving M$ dev products for open source back when ] I use FB periodically, and recently quite a few things in the UI dont seem to function [ logical bugs as opposed to say whether I like the feature design ] I see this as a kind of bitrot setting in, maybe its just hard for large organisations to continue to innovate. Maybe it needs to move more slowly and focus on polish/robustness now. Do people like FB feature changes? I've found them to be annoying with no added value as a user.
