It’s complicated, it’s really complicated, err impossible is a better word to define it. I have talked about the confusion and complications associated to Facebook and another one jumps out. This one in particular is about the answer to the question how do I delete my Facebook account? The answer now is, you can’t if you have a lot of third party sites linking in with your Facebook profile. Proof? Jason Calacanis’ facebook profile is the answer.
I remember reading that the man who had been creating a brouhaha about quitting Facebook and who actually did deactivate his profile, waiting for the 14 day period for Facebook to actually delete his account. The account not only remains on Facebook, it was pretty active as well. No it wasn’t a privacy breach but simply a fact that his YouTube stream and activity on other Facebook connected sites continued to be posted to his profile on the social networking site. Now isn’t it the web I was talking about and Facebook being the spider that doesn’t want you to leave it. Jason Calacanis is an example and a proof solid enough for you to rethink your stance on the social network.
