Thousands of reasons I don't have Facebook or Twitter accounts (though I do know my way around them)

I have an account. Opened it around 5 and a half years ago so i could tell my sister my doggie died.

Haven't used it since.

Does that make the grade???

I don't give any personal information.

We have a private family group that we use to keep track of our schedules and plan time together. I also use it to keep track of friends who don't live close enough for me to see regularly. I don't respond to the regular nagging to "finish" my profile. I don't even use my whole name; people who are looking for me won't find me.

.. trying to convince me to create one in the past.

I mostly heard co-workers criticizing each other for what they wrote and shared anyway, so why get involved? There were even some co-workers who got upset at each other about some kind of farm game?

When I later heard that it was hard to delete a FB account and the company was relaxed on privacy matters, that clinched it.

Zuckerberg seems like a money-grubby shit to me.
