love Dockray's "FACEBOOK SUICIDE (BOMB) MANIFESTO" and the point that we can stick it to facebook by gumming up their system. database vandalism! <br><br>however, for many, quitting facebook is not really an option (e.g., because all of your peers use it). another less extreme route is to simply have a "fakebook" where you do not use your real name and fill your profile with nonsense information. your real friends will still know who you are. you can still use the site to network and enjoy what it offers while simultaneously sticking it to facebook a bit by inserting so much false information (not to mention it solves many of the privacy concerns).<br>
<br>i wrote it up a bit here: "Trade Your Facebook in for a Fakebook" <a href="http://contexts.org/sociologylens/2010/05/26/trade-your-facebook-in-for-a-fakebook/">http://contexts.org/sociologylens/2010/05/26/trade-your-facebook-in-for-a-fakebook/</a><br>

A roadmap for an effective Facebook suicide should do some <span class="il">of</span> <span class="il">the</span><br>
following: catching as many viruses as possible; click on as many<br>
?Like? buttons as possible; join as many groups as possible; request<br>
as many friends as possible. Wherever there <span class="il">is</span> <span class="il">the</span> possibility for<br>
action, take <span class="il">it</span>, and take <span class="il">it</span>
without any thought whatsoever. Become a<br>
machine for clicking! Every click dissolves <span class="il">the</span>
virtual double <span class="il">that</span><br>
Facebook has created for you. <span class="il">It</span> disperses you
into <span class="il">the</span> digital lives<br>
<span class="il">of</span> others you hadn?t thought <span class="il">of</span>
communicating with. <span class="il">It</span> confuses your<br>
friends. <span class="il">It</span> pulls <span class="il">all</span>
those parts <span class="il">of</span> <span class="il">the</span> world
<span class="il">that</span> your social<br>
network refuses to engage with back into focus, makes <span class="il">it</span>
present again.<br>
