I don't feel the need to share every aspect of my life with the world, I had around a thousand friends (990 of which I don't even properly know) I honestly could give less of a ****e if Mary is sick and John is happy. It's nothing but a tool for narcissistic droolies to take 'selfies' of themselves and look for attention. Sure, it was great when I was 15 and acting the nob on it, but it's nothing but a marketing tool and i'm not falling for the gimmick anymore. Rant over :P anyone feel the same way?

However, if you keep it to a list of just your real life friends, you'll figure out that it's actually quite a handy tool for staying in contact with your real life friends, especially if you've recently emigrated. If that means only having 10 Facebook friends then so be it. As I said, Facebook is a useful tool, but unfortunately, it's the tools that are on it that make it useless!

Zed Bank wrote: » It's fairly complicated, there's steps you have to go through after you deactivate. It then gives you the option to permanently delete (although they keep still information on you). There's a waiting period of two weeks (which is a psychological move on their account to instil doubt in your mind to make you reconsider) It's more thorough than deactivation but not by much. The main difference being you can't reopen it at a later date. Look it up online for directions.
