Here are a few articles I found today regarding how to actually delete Facebook, not just deactivate, but to really delete it (I feel it is my duty to let my readers know).<\/p>\n<p>First, read <a href=\"http:\/\/newsfeed.time.com\/2010\/05\/14\/why-is-it-so-hard-to-delete-your-facebook-account\/\">&#8220;Why Is It So Hard to Delete Your Facebook Account?&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Next, is an interesting article from the Economist about one person&#8217;s experience with Facebook called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/blogs\/babbage\/2010\/06\/techview_social_network_redux\">&#8220;Fleeing Facebook&#8221;<\/a>.  As a point of interest, &#8220;No, the final straw was a new algorithm deployed by the site\u2019s Live Feed feature that selected news stories based on the number of times the item had been noted by others. The result was a flood of garbage that could not be controlled. More than anything, it said the folks at Facebook just don\u2019t get what user-control is all about.&#8221;  Yup, thought so, it explains why I wasn&#8217;t getting a variety of news on all my friends, and you thought Facebook was supposed to help you keep in touch with <em>everyone<\/em>.  Nope, only the attention wh*res were coming up on my newsfeed.  I really wanted to give all my friends an equal chance of keeping in touch with me.  I just hope no one is offended that I never commented on their newsfeeds that I probably never saw.  It really is Facebook&#8217;s fault.  Read the comment afterwards by &#8220;kid dingo&#8221;.  Great news!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a tiny article that should make some people do &#8220;the dance of joy&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/tvnz.co.nz\/technology-news\/sweaty-zuckerberg-defends-facebook-3579066\">&#8220;&#8221;Sweaty&#8221; Zuckerberg defends Facebook&#8221;<\/a>.
