I'd like to cancel my account, but due to being an old semi-curmudgeon, I've never had a FaceBook account. People kept telling me that I was missing something, and now I see what they meant, I think.
I'd like to, but what is a reasonable alternative? I mainly want a social place to share and connect with friends, many of whom are not technical people. If they were, things would be much easier...
Meatspace. Other alternatives would be skype chat, IRC, email.
If you just want to share and connect with friends then facebook has nothing unique.
