Farewell Facetube

To paraphrase James May, I’m giving up Youbook for good. LinkedOut is next.

I’ve never been very good with “networking” which is probably why I don’t sell as many books as I’d like, but FB always made me itch.

Apart from the inordinate amount of unproductive time it can suck from you, the privacy issues, the voyeuristic, stalker-vibe involved, and the evil, I guess I never felt comfortable with the synthetic personal relationships it fosters.

Yes, I can hear some of you shouting at me, “Facebook allows me to make new friends, catch up with old friends, and keep contact with family who are far away.”
