[...] first interview subject. I could list many reasons to underpin my decision, things like I dig that his opinion on Facebook and Twitter is similar to mine, that his name alliterates to Heineken, and so on, but [...]

What up Bud! Yea I remember going on a facebook fast about a year ago and wow was it really difficult. I’ve been trying really hard to prioritize and going to make it so i only do email/facebook stuff about twice a day, which is an idea I got from the 4 Hour Workweek.

Thanks for the insights !

Without a doubt that social media can be addicting. But to look a bit broader, so is simply being on the Internet. Loved your post Bud, thanks for sharing your lessons regarding your Facebook Fast.

Cheers,

I know this is off topic, but I just wanted to tell you that I like the design of your sight. It’s so clean and simple. The clouds are a nice touch and they fit the theme of your sight well. The sky’s the limit.

Hey buddy, I got to agree that Facebook took away some part of our life in mingling with “real friends”. We spend too much time on Facebook making friends which some we may never ever see in real life and forgot about the “real” friends around us. On top of that, I got to agree with you Facebook is addictive and it does takes up a huge chunk of time in our life.

Cheers,
Vincent

For me the purpose of social media is to make connections with the hope that, at some point, we will meet in person. But it’s easy for platforms such as Facebook or Twitter to be all consuming, as they allow us to make so many connections that we can’t keep up with them. It’s actually nice to take a break, and have coffee with a friend!

I didn’t spend much time on facebook, but I cancelled my account 2 months ago. One thing less to care

I did this too! I gave up Facebook as an ongoing “practice” on October 25. Yesterday I went back for the first time since.

I did a quick feed scan and gave a FB friend props for her successful enterprise launch this week. Then I posted a quick update, just so a few friends there didn’t wonder if I’d been swallowed up whole by the earth. (I live in the volcanic part of Hawaii.)

All told, I was gone in under fifteen minutes. I plan to do this every couple of weeks.

To answer Jonny’s question above: No, actually, I do not think that I am important, but I do believe that the choices I make are. What I do helps determine the quality of life for everyone on this planet, and for everything we share it with. What an awesome responsibility.
