1. Popularity contest thing – which just strikes me as really fake, people adding ‘friends’ who they don’t even know or have just taken the piss out of for years, and the creepy thing – why would anyone want to broadcast their lives to everyone every day?
2. Users have very little to say, and there is very little incentive for people to exchange anything else than pokes or zombie attacks.
3. Facebook is killing my eyes with those blinking ads. The sidebar is full of “get rich quick” ads…
4. Facebook is selling my information to advertisers to display ads. Facebook can also gather some information about me from other sources like this blog. Hell, this domain name is under my real name… check out the Facebook Privacy Policy :
“Facebook may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services.”
5. Facebook’s early investors are probably linked to the CIA. The CIA also is known for using Facebook to recruit for their clandestine service.
6. Facebook is, let’s face it, boring. Is anyone really entertained by all these application requests ? Do like me, just ignore them.
7. Facebook is irritating. Facebook sends you alerts to inform you someone just did something and you need to log in to learn what. X has just been messaged by Y, Z received a new fun wall post or added the optical illusion challenge application or attacked somebody with the warewolf application or just changed his status from napping to snoring. Oh yeah ? I deactivated all the alerts.
9. Facebook is useless, like all Social Networking sites. It’s mainly a waste of time.
10. Facebook allows you to deactivate your account. That’s the best reasons one should go and do it.
11. It seems to have become all about the money.
12. Given privacy is a growing concern for many people.
13. You have better things to do than the Facebook.
14. You have experienced Facebook friends who misguide your friends with false wall post.
15. 5,000,000,000 & ++ : the number of minutes spent on Facebook every day.
16. People tag you in photos which are not of you, but just to give you a heads up that they want you to look at a photo, instead of just clicking the share photo button.
17. You poke a friend, they poke you back, you poke a friend, they poke you back, you poke…. What’s good in this?
18Better things to do: Go for a walk, or visit a friend, or encourage a family member who needs you, or phone a friend and ask to meet for lunch or volunteer some time helping others…
Leave facebook because there is Twitter 🙂
and the most important!
If you really want a lot of friends, join a club, take some classes, volunteer for a good cause or take up a hobby.
Enjoy your real LIFE!
