I’m gonna delete mine now…just so I can vote again Then I’ll reactivate it because I have a rare ability to ignore stuff that I really don’t like(and because sketch-bag sounds like fun) ---

> [@LZ](#): > > However you use Google+ lol As you know I had to have the Google+ for a class I was in. I didn’t delete it and use it about 1x per month. Simply not that interested but again as I said earlier I see the appeal to others in these websites. I have a twitter I use once in a blue moon as well.(also from the class) Twitter is by far my favorite. I am not interested in other people lives or sharing mine that much but I love that you can follow local events and such on there. ---

i like following my favourite porn stars on twitter. Ms. Haze, Kayden Kross, Teagan… 🙂 one day i will be in town and through twitter i will know they are doing a show in that town and i will go to it and twitter will have paid off for me. i couldnt ‘friend’ them on facebook though. would cause issues back home. I advise some key contacts through work about how i use twitter in that way… needless to say it was a great conversation ;)… i think i got a couple older dudes to get accounts solely for that purpose. ---

> [@BoOsT-HuNgRy](#): > > Ive shut it down due to just wanting to fall off the grid for a while. At one point i disabled my account so you cant post on my wall only comment on posts, it didnt show my information like what city and shit i lived in. you couldnt see my pics only friends could. since then i stopped giving a fuck and left shit open seems to be ok but i clean my fb contacts up once a month or so due to the stupid random adds and most of the ppl i delete some how find away back on my contact list with having to say yes to the request. shits fucked. debating on closing it down again due to the million emails i get from it, i recently did a sweep on my hotmail account and it was over 5000 emails just from fb alone in the last 6 months, fuck that… You can set it do it doesn’t send you emails… DUUUUR ---

I don’t understand people who “hate” facebook. Can I understand you having your own reasons why it isn’t applicable or you don’t care to use it? Sure. But HATE facebook? lol, must not have a ton of stuff that’s particularly important in your life. ---

Just contemplated deleting mine after more people became upset with my post that stated “I hope everyone has a shitty new year so I feel better about mine”. People took my obvious sarcasm for a personal insult. I tried deleting it, but I can’t do to the facebook apps I have. ---

They all have pretty important stuff going on, they just don’t feel the need to post it to the world. They will laugh when I mention this to them.
