  I am no longer on Facebook…I think

  05.05.10 | Permalink | Comment?

  Due to a growing number of concerns over the past few months on how Facebook treats my personal data, and triggered by what I’ve seen of their actual business model, new privacy policy and how they react to digruntled users and people who criticise them, I have decided to quit Facebook.

  For the past couple of weeks I’ve been noticing that twitter.com is unreachable a lot of the time. I’ve tested it from 3 different connections, and it appears to go on and off…weird… Update: twitter’s downtime is causing long load times on this page. Gone is the twitter widget henceforth.
