Deactivating Your Facebook Account, Why Not??

Unknown

Recently I have deactivated my facebook account. Yeah, somehow I just want to do it. Maybe I just don't want to be the one who's addicted too much with this social networking site. And it works...

For you who want to try to deactivate your facebook account, you can do this steps as follow:

First of all, log in to your facebook account
Find "setting" and choose the "account setting" so that you find a list of setting menu
Look for "Deactivate account" and click on "deactivate"
Next, you are in the deactivation page, where you can choose one reason "Why are you deactivating". My suggest, you could choose
"This is temporary, I'll be back" (if you're not strong enough to remove facebook from your life) and
never mark the option "opt out of receiving future emails from facebook" if you still want receive updates from the groups that you're joined, invitation, and others, by the time you want to start to use facebook again
If you have made your decision, click on "Deactivate my account"
And you'll go to the Security Check Page where you have to type two security words, click on submit
Remember that once you're submitting the security code, you'll get yourself has deactivated your own facebook account
You'll receive an email notification of your facebook deactivation process

Ok... that's all for tonight.. have a nice weekend without facebook like me.

Yesterday I've been requested by the committee of the NIX (National IT Expo) DPD Riau APKOMINDO to give presentation about Facebook, the social networking site that is very popular nowadays

Actually I am coming as a substitute speaker, as the speaker who should fill material is suddenly canceled to attend to the event. So I finally contacted by the committee to be the speaker.

I submit that the material really common materials, ranging from a glimpse of the facebook and its development, and of course how they achieved success at this time.

In addition, as a complementary material, I also give tips safe use facebook, the potential threat of piracy information that can be done by facebook, until in the end of the show, we discuss many of the features facebook including the graphic user interface itself.

Questions from the audience quite a lot, and the audience is very diverse. Men, Women, high school students, and college students are curious about the engine that sit in on the facebook event. In fact, the event also had me create a more exciting with the demonstration using one of the participants account. He also once "pasrah" when I change his account settings, add a female friend through the features "friends you may know", and other things etc.. But instead, I give him a shirt from HP in order he answered the question correctly. And of course, he deserved that merchandise for his kindness to give his account to be used on the stage.
