It’s been a little over 2 months since I gave away my Facebook account, and life’s moving along just fine. Just in case you want to read why I gave away Facebook in the first go – You can read it here (Why I deactivated my Facebook account?)
Here I try to look back at these 2 months and see what has been nice and what hasn’t been so nice.
So what’s nice about leaving FB?
1. I have had a lot of time for myself..reading, working out, learning new stuff.
2. I am actually keeping in touch with some of my friends through email/gtalk/phone [More personalized form of communication rather than a common stream]
3. I would like to believe I have been much more productive at work as less distraction to work with.
So what sucks without FB?
1. I have possibly missed all the birthday’s in last 2 odd days.
2. I have no bloody clue(partly) which one of my friends is gong to be in town or whats up with their lives (These are guys who are not available on Twitter )
3. I am sure I have missed out on a lot of crazy and funny videos – which not a days only seem to be available on Facebook.
4. None of my friends is updating their photos on Picasa or Flickr anymore..
5. Its really tempting to share some interesting stuff I have come across to but unfortunately I can’t [I can still use Twitter but than twitter livestream just never lets anyone breath so I am sure lot of them miss out on the content]
6. I can’t brag now ..it was easier with Facebook
So yes, if you are thinking I will go back to FB – definitely yes! but I will be more productive this time and moreover when you deactivate a FB account you can easily go back to it and restore it back the way it was – as if you had never been gone.
Have any of you guys deactivated your FB account yet? If yes, how does it feel? and what awesome stuff have you been doing in the meanwhile.
P.S – I just activated my Facebook account because of work but let’s see how long will it last.
