Getting off facebook is nearly impossible with everyone, even your grandmother, sending you pokes and friend requests.
On Your Web AddiCT(s); journey to be part of the Facebook community without having all your time and bandwidth sucked dry we’ve automated the import of your blog posts into Facebook, automated the update of your Facebook status with twitter and turned off all those email notification received from Facebook.
As many of you know, Facebook has a mobile version available too. Great for communicating or staying up to date with your Facebook friends while on the go. Facebook mobile has another use too: View Facebook mobile from your browser and you’ll only have access to the bare essentials without any advertising or irritating application invites.
When at your computer, instead of going to facebook.com, go to m.facebook.com. Uses less bandwidth and the application requests do not appear.
So, instead of saying Bye Bye Facebook, use the above mentioned techniques to Facebook less.
What do you do to reduce the amount of time spent on Facebook?

Absolutely, but either way, there’s so much insight into someones life that I just decided it would be easier to remove the account. I know all my options, but at the end of the day, removing it was the simplest option
Even simpler, not sharing every detail of your personal life on Facebook.
Ye, it’s more to the point that I would have to disable wall posts, which I could do. Is there a way to remove all feeds? Basically so my profile would not report anything I am doing?
Have a look at the privacy settings, should sort it right out.
Would m.facebook.com help those users whose companies block access to Facebook?
TYFYC Callith. I do not think it’ll help but depending on how sloppy your tech team is it just might. Why not test it and let us know
Nah, we’re not blocked from using Facebook at my company but some of my friends’ companies block them.
Perhaps I should let them know about it…
What does TYFYC mean?
24hrs without any Facebooking, totally loving it and not regretting my decision in the slightest!
Maybe we should have a national no-facebook day
How about a national deactive-your-account day?
I cant NOT go on facebook. I just have this urge to check every few hours for more comments, messages, pictures, friend invites, i just love it.
That’s terrible John, you’d be suffering if you were me
How do I put facebook on my cellphone (Motorola V3 Dolce & Cabana)? Will it work in America?
I need to register mxit.but it always mxit overload
My company blocks ours, I tried m.facebook.com and it doesn’t work either.
Thought I’d share.
TYFYC is thank you for your comment (I think).
How do I connect my Samsung E250 to facebook?
