Why my experiment with facebook is coming to an end

For those that didn't read the piece in yesterday's Guardian by Tom Hodgkinson then you should

And does Facebook really connect people? Doesn't it rather disconnect us, since instead of doing something enjoyable such as talking and eating and dancing and drinking with my friends, I am merely sending them little ungrammatical notes and amusing photos in cyberspace, while chained to my desk? A friend of mine recently told me that he had spent a Saturday night at home alone on Facebook, drinking at his desk. What a gloomy image. Far from connecting us, Facebook actually isolates us at our workstations.


More importantly people should be aware of who is actually behind it

So I shall be closing my facebook account down as well.If people want to communicate with me than then they can do it the old fashioned way
