Lights out.
Well, this has been fun, right folks? Facebook’s oily stance on privacy and the fact that FB feels like a shortcut around more tangible/useful creative and intellectual pursuits have tipped the scales in favor of deaccessioning myself from this space. I thought you all might be interested in some of the steps I’m taking before closing out my FB profile:
- Gist: I’m using this to bring in my FB friends’ contact information out of FB and into a more accessible environment. (Be sure to disable this connection after you go through the deactivation/deletion process, or Gist will re-activate your FB account).
- Facebook Archive: I’m using this Firefox plug-in to archive everything from my FB profile before I delete my account.
- How-To-Delete: I’ll be using these steps to eighty-six my account once and for all.
If you’re interested in keeping up with what I’m thinking, doing, and thinking about doing from here on out, please feel free to check in on me at any of these places. Let me know how to find you, too!
