That way it only notifies you of like important things. Like I don't get any of that jazz, I just see other's status updates so I can keep up with people's lives. And that's all I use it for. Check out what they are doing, check out their photos and say the occasional hello. But like all my social profiles, I'm sure it will eventually fade away.

Now, like the Mafia, I feel like I cannot get out. I feel like there is a whole other world that I will be missing out on if I simply cancel my account. I've quit before, but I came back telling myself that somehow I could keep it casual and not get too attached. Facebook for the iPhone doesn't help either. How am I supposed to wean myself off of this drug when one-touch access is at my fingertips? While I do have some legitimate use for Facebook, all said, I generally trade messages with co-workers, something I do more-than-enough of on Twitter, and well, all day at the office for that matter. Thanks for the post. I am 99.7% ready to throw Facebook out of my life forever... Twitter on the other hand...no way!
