I know there have been a number of posts of this nature on HN over the past while. Seems like a lot of us are trying to find a way to get a grip on how to fit social media into our lives, without it becoming a completely overwhelming distraction.
First off, I didn't want folks to think I was being a jerk for not responding to things there, or getting the wrong idea from my absence. It just seemed like a good way to explain what I'm doing.
Additionally, it's good for traffic, and I still intend to use Facebook in that capacity. I'll continue to post on our agency and project pages, or have someone assigned to do so for me.
As I noted in the post, I'm not anti-Facebook. I just want my time back. The biggest impact on this, came when I killed the apps on my iPhone (I knocked off LinkedIn too). Later, I may do the same to TV and respond to fewer blog posts.
