Why I Won't Have A Facebook Account In Two Weeks...

[Frank Capua]

I found out that there was a painless way out and I dove for it.

Never go to the sight and block it from email?

I'm at a loss in trying to figure out what you're eluding to. Could you be more specific?

I think he is alluding to a previous thread in which he was spurned by one of the Kardashian sisters.
He subsequently went on a internet stalking mission on her Facebook page.
Apparently, she has relented and is willing to meet him face to face, hence he will no longer need his Facebook page.

I missed all that as well as the grammatical error.

That can't be right... the fat one is married, the cute one is pregnant and the other one is only famous for having a porn tape and a fat ass. It has to be something else.

I think Betty White said it best.

Is this thread a question out a statement?

I'm pretty sure that's not what this is.

I simply wanted out without "real" friends and family members getting a message that I was unfriending them. Sure it's true that the majority of my "Friends" on Facebook I wouldn't have been bothered if they got that message but I wasn't going to do something rash that might offend someone I had no intention of offending.

However I found out that I could simply request that my Facebook account be canceled and all anyone would be told by Facebook was that my account no longer existed. All I have to do is stay off of it for two weeks and at the end of the 14th Day it just disappears.... so I dove for it. That's all.

Whoops, Swype got me that time. "out" was supposed to be "or".

When you "unfriend" someone, there is no message sent. Additionally, you will not show up on their "recommended friends" list, nor they on yours. You can even take it a step farther and block that person from even being able to see that your account exists, if you choose. I did that with all of my superiors at my last job.

As Betty White said; "... I didn’t know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, I have to say, it sounds like a huge waste of time. I would never say the people on it are losers, but that’s only because I’m polite. People say ‘But Betty, Facebook is a great way to connect with old friends.’ Well at my age, if I wanna connect with old friends, I need a Ouija Board. Needless to say, we didn’t have Facebook when I was growing up. We had phonebook, but you wouldn’t waste an afternoon with it.”

Naw... simply getting out sounds much easier. On the "unfriended" message I've been told by others that they have received them so all I wanted to do was make sure nothing like that went out. Probably mostly my fault, but like sweet Betty I knew nothing about Facebook and when I joined and I was way too inclusive... anyone who contacted me with a request those first couple of weeks I let in, but that was before I fully understood what befriending someone entailed. Did not realize that I was gonna get their Farmville reports... and yes I know you can hide that stuff but that takes us back to Betty's point about wasting an afternoon.

Taking on Facebook and trying to stay on top of it was like taking on a second part-time job.

It's really not that hard to hide all of the stupid stuff. I spend no more than 5 minutes a day on Facebook, on average.

But to each their own. Social networking is becoming more and more integrated with all aspects of the traditional World Wide Web. The future is Facebook.

Not much to look forward to in the future. People stop verbally communicating with each other. Put up the walls, dig the moat, keep the gators happy.

Kinda of what is wrong with facebook... it's getting too hard to avoid.

The future is Facebook.

Now play nice... I haven't tried to scare anyone in this thread.
