Farewell Facebook

I'm deleting my Facebook account on Sunday night (just sent a message to people on FB giving my other online hangouts including this one - so I'm giving them a chance to respond before I shut it down.)

The New York Times gives a pretty good reason why

I belong to a few social networks and while Facebook is the most populous it is also the most dangerous and demonstrates the most contempt for its users.

(UPDATE) - Here's a fairly indepth (and idiosyncratic) commentary on the issues with Facebook from the notorious Jason Calacanis

And from that piece - here's The Top 10 Reasons You Should Quit Facebook
