Au revoir Facebook

Happy New Year!

I've had enough of Facebook. It's a time drain, it's too trivial, I don't like having to conduct e-mail conversations within their environment and I particularly don't like what they've just done to Scoble.

I hated AOL and here I am using something that is really just a glorified update. I want an open system where the data I input always belongs to me and where I choose the communication method for my dialogue.

So tomorrow I'm going to wipe my data and suspend my account. I couldn't actually find a way to delete my account so if someone knows how please let me know.

YEH! If I didn't have so many anchors in facebook I would do the same. I am all for data portability! If their product needs to control and own my data in order to keep by business then they need some serious re-thinking... Play fair or eventually lose.

Hi,
You acctually can't delete your facebook profile. It will always be there... web2.0....

Just send lots of consecutive messages to your friends. That's how enough reason for them to delete your account...

I had celebrated my last new year in San Francisco.
