Goodbye FaceBook!
Yes I am deactivating my FaceBook account. Hopefully this won’t be permanent but I am not sure when I will reactivate it again.
It’s true that social networking sites have changed the browsing behavior of people; sometime in positive way and sometime negative but I am just trying to experiment how productive I would be without FaceBook (sometime self experiment is not so bad 
).
Though I really don’t tag myself a FaceBook addict but it was kinda distraction and moreover most of my FaceBook friends’ perception and my perception about using it has been totally different. I used it primarily for creating and sharing contents and links through my blog posts, tweets and delicious bookmarks following the norms of Web 2.0 i.e. create , share and collaborate. But from some time I am feeling that the same stuffs are more worth to do in Twitter than in FaceBook. May be because, most of my twitter friends think like me and/or belong to the same profession that I belong to (programming and tech stuffs).
So for now, Twitter is my social networking and a platform to share and collaborate the contents and links that may prove to be productive for me as well as my twitter friends.
I don’t know if this is right thing to do or not because I have over 100 friends (whom I know petty well) in FaceBook that I will be disconnected with. I guess I am giving more preference to productivity and similar network of user base over human emotions. And someone has said correct "Twitter is a FaceBook without extra bullshit".
Was this the right thing to do?

from my own experience, at first productivity will rise (exponentially), but later on u'll start missing fb again n esp frens there..
I'm not even sure why I'm on facebook… =) I don't really see the fuss over it. There are tons of ways to better communicate with people than it, and the applications on it are mostly pointless.
The only reason I can see is that I have a bunch of old friends and coworkers there, who don't use IRC or IM.
its kinda a pull away. well i dont understand why we are use facebook??? simply search old frens or review frens comment..
Thanks for the comment dude!
I think Facebook is required to get around and know what's going on with frens but it was kinda distraction to me. So, I just quit that. But I will be back after few months hopefully!
