Today begins a new WordPress blog category “Social_Networking”.
I just signed up for an account at http://www.CNN.com/ and they have presented me with an option “Connect your CNN & Facebook accounts”. I wonder what happens if I do that…I think I’ll pass on making any outside connection to Facebook…thank you Facebook for your predatory opt-out policy.
In my research I encountered http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sen-michael-bennet/facebook-and-internet-pri_b_593635.html and became concerned about Facebook’s predatory opt-out strategy/policy.
Upon further research I encountered http://scitech.blogs.cnn.com/2010/05/17/group-plans-quit-facebook-day/?hpt=T2 and became enthralled with the notion of deleting my Facebook account.
Social networking can become an addiction for some people. I gave serious consideration to deleting my true identity account at Facebook.
I considered setting up a fictional identity account that people could befriend if they wanted to know what was up in my mind and my life.
I didn’t know one could delete a Facebook account. If that is true maybe I’ll do it today. Better yet, maybe I’ll create a swarm of fictitious accounts and interconnect them with themselves and everybody else. Anybody got any better ideas?
It is now 8:30 AM and nature beckons. I’ll ponder the matter fully before doing something hasty that I might later regret. After all, it is Memorial Day and I must do something to celebrate the day.
