Recently I'm getting weary of Facebook, or what we Facebookers simply refer to it as FB for short.

It seems I'm not the only one.  There are 3 articles to support me:

25 Random Things about Facebook
You Can't Friend Me, I Quit!
Friends, Until I Delete You

And I am so amused by Burger King's recent "unfriend your friends for a free whopper" FB campaign, I'm going to throw in another related article for my own amusement.  (Why, did you think I wrote this article for the general public's enlightenment?)

Burger King Cancels Facebook Ad Campaign

Now, I must confess, I resisted FB for as long as I could and not because I am old-ER than the general FB demographic.  I resisted because although the elitist in me liked that FB was created by a Harvardite, the same elitist in me also regrets that it didn't stay more exclusive.  Oh well, I certainly made up for it by making my FB circle of friends very exclusive.

Now, don't get me wrong, my FB circle is exclusive not because I am an intellectual snob who not-so-secretly love the most elite of the elite schools.  Just so it happens, I went to one of these schools and so my friends from that era are intellectually "pedigreed" people as he-who-must-not-be-named would have called them.

But I digress.

So why, after years of hardcore resistance, did I succumb to FB?  First of all, because I found that it was the easiest way to not lose touch with the little (I.e. young) friends I made in Europe.  But, let's be honest, the nudge I needed was that he-who-must-not-be-named was on FB.
