I just deactivated my Facebook account. Not deleted. Deactivated. So it’s all still there…all I have to do is log back in. But I’m still having a mild panic attack. I think this is just reinforcing that I need a break from the site…but good grief. I’m terrified that I’m going to miss something terribly important. And can you blame me? It isn’t that much of a stretch. In fact, I know people who have taken a brief hiatusfrom the world’s most popular social site, only to find out weeks later (when they decide to log in again) that something awful happened, and they were left in the dark. I suppose you could argue that it doesn’t matter if I don’t know about it…or that if I would only have known through Facebook, it must not be anything that important to begin with. Years ago, I would have agreed with you. Now?
