Poll: Do you have a Facebook account?

Yes, but I never use it and I locked the security down so tight I don't even know if I have permission to post on my own wall anymore.

Have facebook, love it.

Had Google+, deleted it when my name started showing up in search results. I just don't like the way they're trying to work it into every other thing you do with them ... without your clear permission.

I still have mine for the purpose of marketing my site, but I have removed almost all of my friends, and have moved my "social" interactions to G+.

I have one but under a fake name.

Why do you guys choose to not have one, go by a different name, or delete your facebook?

Personally, it just feels creepy having a facebook and that's why I have one under a different name. Not that you couldn't figure it out anyway but it gives me a sense of security.

Not to be uncool, but I enjoy Facebook. I find it to be a fun way to stay in touch with connections, discuss, share, chat, etc. Sure I want data portability, but I believe that will come in time from competitive and user forces, and my life is not a protest. My online social activity is inane anyway - I don't care that much who stores it.

If you are worried about your activities being tracked and sold, stop using your credit cards. Have you read the privacy policy on those lately?

All this anti-Facebook pride strikes me as bitterness. Everyone has a right to do what they want, but would be all the wiser to look at themselves to understand why.

Facebook gives me more than I give Facebook - a lot more. When that stops being true, I'll stop using it. I too am kicking myself for not building a social network in 1996 - I'm not going to convince myself Facebook is evil because I didn't.
