Well this morning I finally did what I was telling myself I would do since before Christmas; I have finally let go of the insidious grasp of Facebook.

I’ve closed all applications, changed my settings, and deactivated my account. I know that if I want Facebook to delete my profile then I have to delete each and every minifeed entry and e-mail, and I will do that in time but I’m happier right now with this first stage of just putting it down and walking away.

And already I feel it’s a weight off my shoulders.

Now my reasons for leaving Facebook aren’t about anything so noble (?) as privacy issues.

It’s just a waste of time.

(And I see no reason keeping in touch with people from my past who I have no other relationship with other than through Facebook. I wish a lot of them well but really I don’t care. I haven’t been interested in their well being since leaving school and it’s not going to start now.)

The time issue really is a big thing. I have precious little time as it is to do the things I want to do.

Goodbye Facebook. I won’t miss you.
