Bye Facebook

I've finally gathered all my energy and deactivated my Facebook account...for the second time! The first one was because of the oh so many people trying to add me as a friend. But the latest one was because of the non-stop tagging that is making me craaaazy!

I still believe in confidentiality and the art of privacy! I know social networking sites are places wherein you share photos, insights and whatever have you. But sometimes it gets out of hand, don't you think? I have heard and read a lot of creepy stories wherein crimes happened because of facebook. Too much stupidity on our part will bring us to the hands of abusive predators.... The sad part is, sometimes people can be insensitive to our issues and most of the time they will neglect your simple request of not to tag you. And don't even get me started on the naive ways of people reading our posts. You post a one-liner, they make a whole story out of it. It just got so tiring for me!

I was going to deactivate my account before the year ends, but why wait when I can do it now. And honestly, the only reason I was still on facebook was because of the apps on my ipad that I was using (Zombie Cafe, Words with friends and the likes) And another reason, I hate that there's no option to delete ALL my posts ALL on the SAME time! It's tiring to have to back track! Especially since I post a lot! So clearly, to deactivate is the easiest and the only option!

So now, I only have my twitter account which I love for the very reason that I can block trolls! And I've created an account on Google+ which looks really promising. I love that they're trying to keep it simple, uncluttered, and user-friendly. But I still yet have to explore the possibilities on Google+.

So for my friends who miss my sarcastic, unfriendly posts...... sorry :) It just got so tiring!

Outbursts of my mind

Bye Facebook
