About a week ago, I decided to stop checking Facebook. Well…kind of.
About a year ago, i wanted too but felt compelled to check in on my ‘social network’. I never had much to say or post, but somehow it defined a social responsibility to my ‘friends’. To read and support their ramblings…to ‘like’ and participate in things that were beyond my usual normal grasp. To be spammed by business ventures that I really didn’t care much about.
But somewhere along the line with privacy concerns and losing true sense of a personal ‘touch’, I stopped reading Facebook updates. Though I may still log into Facebook chat and am grateful for contacts at my fingertips, I still wonder if my usage of Facebook is irresponsible?
Will Facebook change privacy settings? Will my lack of involvement expose my network of so called ‘friends’?
