Peace Out, Facebook?

Peace Out, Facebook?

Well, I know that it is much discussed over on FB itself, but the feed stream is so confusing there that I thought I would solicit comments here. I am thinking that I may have to bow out of the facebook community. Figuring out the new privacy details seems trying, and I don’t love that comments on friends posts will be seen in another feed. I find looking at the screen pretty confusing.

Sadly, several of my friends who used to blog a lot are now mostly FBers, so I will be sorry not to hear their random thoughts, and especially their links to various articles of interest, but it is also possible that I will be happy with the found time.

I spent about a week on Google+, but I really don’t have time to sort out a whole new community, especially when there were not too many people on it.

So, do I have the self control to just not go to facebook often, or should I shut down my account all together? Other thoughts on social media? Maybe I want to go back to reading more blogs, are you satisfied with a feed through your google reader? For a while I had a nice google homepage set up which had a FB feed, news, blog roll, etc, maybe if I invest a half an hour in really setting that up properly I can just see everything at once?
