johnridleyI was going to go over and delete my Facebook account, but then I realized that I have an organization linked to the account. 'Course, as far as I know, nobody pays any attention to the organization either so it probably wouldn't bother anyone if that one went away too, or I transferred it. I haven't been on FB for probably 2 months now anyway, so I guess it hardly matters if I delete the account or not.
To clear up a misconception, even though I've talked about FB's bad security in the past, at this point I really don't give a damn about their security. I don't avoid FB because of security or lack of it. I avoid it because honestly, it's just a huge pile of noise, and I'm not really talking about the things people post. There's so much crap and ads and games and junk poking me every time I go there that it just bothers me. Every time I start using FB I start getting emails and stupid notifications about things that I don't care about.
That and their bizarre decisions on what to show and in what order. Chronological, newest first please. Instead they seem to think that "blender" is the preferred sort order.

- Margaret Bumby - You could always post something in FB saying "would you care if this org disappeared?". Me, I'm keeping FB for now, if only because it put me back in touch with my cousin (and some folks from HS). Don't do more than stick my nose in every once in a while. Rarely say anything.
- Michael Brian Bentley - My family ain't coming over here for a while, and I'm not sold on Plus yet.
- John Ridley - +Michael Brian Bentley sure, anyone who's actually using FB will clearly want to wait. I never really used FB much at all, it always felt like a disorganized heap of junk to me and I haven't been there for many weeks so I have no investment there anyway.
