I am suspending my Facebook notice until June, for two reasons.
1. I have exams, so don’t need the unnecessary distraction.
2. I want to test if Facebook truly is an unnecessary distraction by being detached from it for a while and see if my life is enhanced or not, through its absence.
I am not a hypocrite, I have had Facebook for a few years now, and I’m what you might call a ‘heavy user,’ with over 40 photo albums, regularish status updates, admin of about 10 groups, one of them having nearly 2000 members (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2218692770) and over 1300 friends (not showing off here, trying to make a point!)…
So I have definitely ‘done’ Facebook…
At the moment, logic tells me I don’t need Facebook and its to my detriment, so I’ll put my money where my mouth is and test not having it.
Next Entry: Facebook? Do I really need it?
So you’ve blogged about it…you going to twitter about suspending Facebook, too?
Sholeh: Yes, I just did.
I have no qualms that blogging contributes positively to society and to my life. I also feel that this blog is the correct forum for explaining my FB deactivation.
With regard to Twitter….the jury is out on this one. After my Facebook abstinence program, I will thoroughly test Twitter…
I have not used Twitter enough to know how good it is… I will test that next… in the meantime, I found this funny regarding your comment and Twitter:

haha that comic was hilarious, and spot on. Good luck with the experiment.
LOL, love the dog cartoon.
Hilarious cartoon. I have never “done” Facebook and I doubt I ever will. I don’t need anymore internet entanglements. But I do enjoy dropping in on witty blogs occasionally. Yours is really good. So how was abstinence?
