I just got done reading this article:

I had been thinking of the privacy issues for a while, and they really irk me. Especially since I read that the Library of Congress is archiving all of Twitter, it makes me wonder if Facebook is next. So, I deleted my profile this morning. What's odd is they give you a place to tell them why you're leaving. And my complaint was that I had to continuously opt OUT if I wanted to remain more private. I told them that I wanted to have to opt in to things that make my profile more public. Then, right below that box, I read the following:
"Please check here to opt out from future Facebook emails"
That sealed the deal.
Then I read this article immediately after. Weird how things work.
Glad to see the internet hard at work here...now just don't tell me you were searching for yourself :)
Hopefully next year I'll get to stay a hair longer. But I had a blast and can't wait to come back.
