I think we make Facebook to me more than they really are - After using them for 5+ years, and accumulating the regular collection of 500+ friends and 40 or so family members, I finally got a little weirded out over how detailed the timeline was regarding my life. So, one day, I deleted my facebook account.

I'm happy to report not a single thing changed in my life. No fewer parties, snowboarding events, burning man engagements, or family connections. Everyone who was my friend (Defined as "People who will come and help me move or visit me in hospital") remained my friend and keep in pretty much the same amount of contact.
