If Leo LaPorte has to google how to delete his account, there is a problem.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/05/13/facebook.delete.privacy/index.html?hpt=T2
Try typing delete into google, by the time you hit "dele", delete google profile will show up as number two in the suggestions list!
Hell yeah. I quite face book a long time ago. I wish there was an alliterative.
Yay! I hate Facebook. I hate that everyone I talk to tells me to join it. And I don't want to join it specifically for privacy reasons. It's also kind of annoying because it's yet another thing that you have to sign up for so people can be in touch with you. We have cell phones, email, now people need to be able to text me and message me on facebook. Well guess what? I don't want to pay for texting, and I don't want to sign up for Facebook. Call me, or email me if you need to tell me something...

leo deleteting his facebook.
My sister was raging about this, she deleted her account. I don't have to worry about it, they booted me off ages ago for some retarded reason, and I never bothered to make a new account.
Can't imagine this is going to help their case:

Okay - let's hate on something you obviously know nothing about.
Yeah, I got a FaceBook, I check it once or twice a day. It's absolutely perfect for keeping track of school events and friends. I use it all the time to keep in touch with friends, especially those who have moved away.
If you are pissed about people updating constantly, that's THEIR fault, not FaceBook's. You are an idiot if you constantly do that, and to call FaceBook useless because of that is ridiculous.
And your little "why would I need a website to talk to people that live right near me"... that is the stupidest reason yet. Have you ever used a phone? I'm pretty sure you have. WHY would you use a phone to call someone who lives right near you? Are you crazy?! Also, have you heard of this thing called the "internet"? Man, it has these bogus communication websites and programs - obviously worthless because I can just go talk to the person in person, because that is so much more convenient when I need to relay something to them right away!
...Phew. Sorry, I'm just really tired of people bashing and ranting against something without any logical or meaningful basis.

And I here I thought I was the only one who would randomly search for chick's profiles, download their pictures, then obsess over them by photoshop'ing them into hot women with large breasts and perfect hourglass bodies, then printing them out, cutting out the image, and covering my walls with them. It's kinda funny when I actually walk by said women on the street and greet them with a "Hi! I stare at your photos on my walls all the time! Might I suggest some surgical changes to perfect your otherwise mediocre figure?"

Harsh, but I loled a little, Sorry pwn =3
on topic, I never bothered with facebook, I just recently started using Myspace. mainly because my family is on facebook and if I got on there and added friends then they might conflict and my parents could learn things that I dont want them to know ;)

I'm not exactly sure where I was conceived. All I know is that I was born in a submarine 4000ft below sea level when the pressure gauge failed and caused my birth mom to get the bends. Basically, she exploded and the force of the explosion rocketed me to the top of the ocean where I landed in a local fisherman's boat. I was the only survivor. True story.

>_<.... you missed something....
After the sub exploded you did get rocketed up. But you also did get swallowed by a whale. The whale got illegally poached. When they opened the whale they saw you. But they did not want to alert the authority so they attached you to there spear gun and shot you over to an American cruise ship.
That's how you even got to the US. Evey one knows only Russian subs can explode. The only reason i know that is because my cousin worked on that poaching ship for 30 years.

That sounds more like Twitter and not Facebook... I actually find Facebook quite convenient and helpful for keeping in touch with people. By your comment, you must be in middle/highschool.... because once your in college, half your friends move to different states. And that's what Facebook was originally made for: people in college. Then they expanded it so everyone under the sun could use it.
Also, I've had a close friend from elementary school find me on facebook a few years ago. She had moved to Missouri after 5th grade and lost touch with her. Now we talk to eachother often and she's planning to come back to MN after college and visit. You can't do that with email/phone numbers.
Another thing it helps me with is events/birthdays. Being my memory span is about as bad as a goldfish's, it's nice to have facebook remind me about graduation parties and birthdays.

Twitter is what you make it. If you follow people on Twitter that do that than stop following them. My Twitter stream looks nothing like that.
Quote from: DarkTrinity on May 24, 2010, 07:19:33 PMAlso, I've had a close friend from elementary school find me on facebook a few years ago.
That... is exactly why I am not on Facebook. I think I would have nightmares if people from back in elementary school found me and started contacting me. I've lost contact with people for a reason. In general it's because one person or the other has lost interest. If I really wanted to keep in contact with someone, even if they moved out of state or whatever, I would have kept in contact with them somehow. You send eachother emails or phone calls occasionally and make sure your contact info stays up to date...
All this tracking people down through a website just gives me the creeps. I actually had a friend who lost contact with me look me up within a few hours of me joining Facebook. What the hell was he doing? Sitting around on Facebook looking up my name every so often until I joined? And if he were that interested in looking me up, he has my freaking phone number! He could have called me several times in the past years and kept in touch if he really wanted to. As it is I'm not going to be his friend again because he searched for me on a website... Forget that.

Only thing is we were in fifth grade... No one had an email. I guess it doesn't really bother me if old friends look for me, because I've sat around and thought about old friends wondering "how are they", "are they still alive", "what have they been up to". and the funny part is, when I first joined facebook I actually tried finding her on there except she didnt have one at the time... And a year later, she found me. lol. Also, my Facebook is private, so people can't actually see my personal info or photos unless I add them/poke them.
On that note I understand it is still possible to see your comments/posts if someone else who has a public account comments on your status... or something to that effect. If someone were to go to that person's profile they would see your status that they commented on. So in reality, you have no way of making everything on your profile private. At least from what I have been told. And a lot of the other things about the privacy settings are very obscure and difficult to figure out. Again, from what I've been told.
In any case, even if people can't see the stuff in your profile, they can still see that you have an account. That's one of the things I don't particularly care for. I really only want people I specifically add to know anything about my account, even that it exists.
