I left Facebook this week. I won’t go into great detail over the reasons why I made the decision, but suffice to say there were plenty. Privacy issues were the most concerning, but also, I just never really got comfortable using the service. The interface didn’t make any sense to me. There didn’t seem to be any discernible logic behind what Facebook decided should show up in my News Feed (and I never understood the necessity of News Feed versus Live Feed). Personal settings were difficult to access and those settings continually changed. Also annoying was the constant barrage of mindless updates from friends who weren’t really friends but felt it necessary to be connected to me. And again, privacy issues.
