Hello world,
more precise hello you people using FaceBook. I just deleted 95% of my FaceBook friends, that is not meant personal in any way, thats just a step further in my web 2.0 diet. Its pretty useless to collect 200+ friends who don’t use FB to communicate with me at all, i just use FB myself mostly for sharing pictures (free space).
I decide as well to keep my privacy on lower level, btw. if you are setting FB on ‘only me’ or ‘only friends’ plus deny any 3rd parties to see your private data (needs applications totally disabled) FB is pretty good locked. If you using the site be aware that i can write an FaceBook app, that does a stupid ‘intelligence’ test, i will not only see a lot of your private data but also the data off all your friends, to avoid that (friends mess up in giving all ‘their’ private details away, but also get lots of mine) you need to disable apps completely…
For all the communication junkies out there, i love old style media like mail, short messages, XMPP or even MSN.
For all the BLUG members, i still love you all, even if you not any longer in my friend list
Cheers

I went a step futher about 4 weeks ago…. been meaning to do it for a long time.
FB is useless, overly complicated, tries and fails to emulate twitter and just puts too much personal info online.
But mostly, I failed to find any utility for it. Half the people (well 95%) weren’t my friends. Sure people I knew once, but I don’t really care for or about. I’m in my 30′s now. I have my circle of friends. Don’t need any more and email and phone work great.

As you may already know Facebook Accounts are SUSPENDED with geometrical progress. We started a petition against this policy and we ask to unite your voice with ours to create the proper attention and rectify this issue with Facebook managers. Current social media editors at various magazines want to see that there is a certain interest before they create articles to their websites and/or magazines. To all readers and to blog owner we ask to support our petition here : http://FacebookDisabled.me (redirects to petitionspot) – Twitter : http://twitter.com/facebookpetitio . Thanks everyone for this time !!

@Rob Lopey
Well, first of all, this message seem to be spammed to many many BOGS, but still, i will not mark it as Spam.
Then i think it is one thing to complain against the new privacy policies, but complain because you got banned and now you want to revenge to facebook by showing them you can move a 1.000.000 people petition, that quite childish!! Just create a new account… And if you would have read my original post you would know that the privacy thing is solved by just disable the app thing and done…
Cheers
