Leaving Facebook

Have been thinking about leaving Facebook for a while now. Facebook doesn't do much for me anymore.

Today I stopped thinking about it and took action. This after watching a documentary about it on BBC. The amount of money that is being made, based on information on Facebook, is ridiculous.

It's okay, if I also gain. But as I, as mentioned, don't feel like Facebook does anything for me anymore, I do not see the point of being a target for marketing either.

So I sent mass messages to my Facebook friends about me leaving soon. I deleted all photos (as I've heard that you have to delete them one by one for them to REALLY be deleted). I kept on deleting all wall posts, took away all applications, made my profile as slim as possible.

Now all I have to do, the day I decided will be THE day, is to do a simple click, and I will have left the world of Facebook for good.

Somehow it feels good. Don't ask me why.

Det kan bli besvärligt att ta bort Facebook-kontot. Har du läst Aftonblaskan idag?http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article1815365.ab

Äsch, hela adressen kom inte med. Den slutar med .ab Men det är lätt att hitta den på förstasidan...

Moster, ja, jag vet att det är svårt. Det var därför jag i går började med att radera alla foton, applikationer, meddelanden o s v. Ett och ett... Tog en himla tid :)

Men jag har fortfarande en del kvar. Som t ex att radera vänner. Och sedan slutligen radera kontot.

Men tack för tipset om artikeln. Visste inte att man också måste maila till Facebook. Men nu vet jag även det, tack vare VBMA. Så nu borde jag nog lyckas göra mitt Facebook konto till ett minne blott - tillslut :)
