Yes! That’s right. Enough of Social Networking. I have decided to quit Orkut n FaceBook. I thought of deleting both my Orkut and FaceBook Profiles. But, then again, creating a new profile will be a pain in the back, just in case i change my decision!
I am not Politically or Morally against Orkut or FaceBook like Tom Hodgkinson or Techno Llama (But I completely agree with both of them) nor I would say i am not interested in social networking at all. It has been Good for certain things. I might even come back after a few months. But as of now, i am just going to stay away from it.
I estimate that for me Orkut/Facebook easily eats up at least half an hour a day. That’s more than 180 hours a year. Quite some time! I have lots and lots of other stuff that need my attention. My time is so valuable you know. Therefore, I am just downsizing!!!
Why I joined Orkut?
- Helped me Connect with a few of my old buddies
- Everyone else in the World joined.
Why i am quitting Orkut?
- It is Eating my Precious Precious Time
- Too much Hype
- Groucho 2.0 Rule
- I just feel it is a Public Popularity Contest
- I Got Bored with it
That’s it for now. I would like to hear from others who also have quit or decided to quit Orkut/FaceBook.
