QuitFacebookDay is a website with one, simple agenda: To get you to stop buying bottled water.
Well, actually no, but perhaps you can guess the agenda by the domain and the ten-foot-tall header.
What? Did I hear someone say "Drama Queen"?
Yes, I admit this is kind of dumb, but I really could not resist. Human beings are social creatures, so what better way to quit a social network than... socially?
The site is basically an all-out anti-Facebook rant. They explain in fairly simple terms why you should quit Facebook. The bottom line is that you don't have to quit all by yourself, and be a lonely maverick. You sign your name and add to the number of "committed Facebook quitters", and come May 31st, you all quit together.
At the time of this writing, there are 13,379 "committed quitters". Assuming they all really do quit, that would work out to approximately 0.0000334 percent of the entire Facebook user base! Way to go, guys!!!
No, but seriously though, I really think change is coming. Maybe not exactly via this bullhorn, but you guys just wait and see -- by 2012, we'll have another strong player in the social networking arena.
