Talk is Cheap

There's a website working to organize a coordinated dumping of Facebook and there's a search suggestion on Google prompting users to find out how to delete their Facebook account. There are even droves of the technorati leaving the social network. But what does all of this hubbub over Facebook and privacy really add up to?

According to Hitwise, it's all added up to a 3% increase in visits last week accounting for nearly 9% of all U.S. visits.

I desperately want to chuck my FB account due to my increasing concerns for my privacy. But I am cripplingly dependent on it as my social network. Seriously, I think I'm more popular on the FB than I am IRL. There's Always Collegiate Nation, but you need your @edu address to sign up. I sitll have mine, but why would I want to go hang out with a bunch of kids three to seven years my junior? <<shudder>>
