Why I Don't Currently Use Facebook

You wouldn't think that one would need a reason why they don't use Facebook. But when 1/15 of the human race uses it, I guess you do. People sometimes ask me why I am not not on Facebook; heres why:


1) I don't have time for Facebook. I am on Twitter, Blogger, and LinkedIn. That's is enough for me. I would rather network professionally.

2) I don't want my social status to be defined by Facebook. There's something shallow about measuring social status through wall posts.

3) I don't have a comparative advantage with Facebook. In other words, I don't have someone taking thousands of pictures of me then posting them on Facebook. So it doesn't play to my strengths.

I'm not one to think Facebook is all bad. Right now it is just not for me. But that is always subject to change.

Facebook is great for photographers. It's perfect sharing photos with others.

And it's a must for most businesses. Social media is a critical marketing strategy.
