A youngster quit Facebook in December after spending over three years on a social networking site. With that one acts. He Il a silent adicu to more than 300 contacts that he had added to his account during the period Last week a new feature or Facebook called timeline forced him to reconsider the pros and cons of being on the networking site "Everyone has some deletons in their closes and i am just not comfortable wit Facebook digging out and displaying all the facts on my life on a bulletin board" says this youngster who joined the network in July 2007 when he was in class XI Facebook, you see, had compressed the time, he spent on the site and arranged it in chronological order, and while he initially liked the new neatly organized scrapbook like feature, he wasn't happy to reveal posts from the post that until recently were hidden under layers and layers of recent updates just clicking on a date on the timeline could transport his friends back in time and unable them to view every embarrassing comment, link or photo he had posted on his profile. I think it's a recipe for disaster, he says. "In 2007, I had some wall posts which seemed appropriate at that time, but now after a lapse of 4 years, I have moved on and don't want them to be openly displayed for all to see And he is not alone, many users worried about how Facebook activity could possibly affect their offline lives are choosing to commit facebook sureide While some have privacy concerns, others feel that the site that was meant to bring them closer to their friends actually does the opposite-it reduces their friendship to something superficial: "poking and liking are not enough to keep a friendship going Sys a business analyst Having quit Facebook three years ago, She prefers meeting her real friends face to face, instead of reading their trite posts online. "On Facebook people hype everyday issues including what Hey are and where they went on a daily basis", says this analyst who continues to use twitter Facebook has become time sync and it couldn't justify the time spent on it he says, "i spent more time calling up friends or relatives over the phone now I also go out and meet people whenever possible and have a good offline life 1 de not regret the change today Facebook has 800 million users of which 37 million are Indians. The site has become an online identity for most. and many of those who decide to quit cannot overcome the withdrawal symptoms and return Facebook, fully aware of its addictive powers, facilitates this return by allowing users to "deactivate their accounts but continues to store information on their servers so that they can return from their break" whenever they wish.
