There are many answers to this question
- It went haywire, I couldn't tell one friend from her mother.
- Was overloaded with people tagging me with nonsense that they wanted to sell my friends.
- Some idiot uses a non facebook 3rd party application of quiz and gives up access to my status updates photos . I could put the jerks on minimum access to my information mode but that kinda beat the idea of being there in the first place.
- I was never comfortable being ad fodder and I am not too sure Goldman Sachs are investing magic beans with no giant on top the beanstalk
- Mark Zuckerberg is the Time Magazine's Man of the Year along with Hitler and Stalin, yet Hitler and Stalin do not have facebook accounts – think about that!
- I care about not selling my friends to be shelved and displayed with all their manipulable private information exposed.
- Yeah, I think I am too cool to be there. I like to disappear from face and the books of the universe every now and then, a bit like super man without the silly costume.
- My blogsite www.tafxkz.info is cooler, quirkier and fits everything I stand for with NO ADS! Did I mention that it costs only 35 Indian rupees a year to maintain? Yes, 35 measly Indian rupees a year, and I am not even a tech geek. Eat that pigeons. Now – can somebody explain why he or she IS on facebook?!!
- Actually being introduced/known as someone who deleted his facebook account is a notoriety that best represents my brand and immediately opens conversations that pitch my paradigm.
- To ask me why I am not on facebook, is like asking a fish why it is not taking the free luxury cruise - in case you missed the status update all the fish on-board are in the menu. No thank you, I'd rather not take that bait invitation. The internet is my ocean. My natural habitat. Yes, I have to deal with my natural predators and the elements of nature- but I am a fish in water and not in boiling oil, vinegar. gravy or stew.
Finally I beat billg to deleting my facebook account before he did, though I quit Microsoft only a few months after him
