How Sticky is Your Membership on Facebook? from the NYT
I agree with the first comment: if there are “private” things on Facebook that you don’t want coworkers to see, change your privacy settings or don’t have them up in the first place. I’m currently unsearchable (though I’ve loosened that up, or intra-network things) and my profile has all of maybe 10 lines of info – not even including my activities or interests. I’m friends with several professors (and have written on their walls, to find that many respond) and don’t allow my photos to be public … I’m generally comfortable with what info is available, and who can access it. And I do think that being able to easily re-activate Facebook is a plus. But I guess I do sympathize with the people who feel that they need to delete their accounts, but find that it’s still searchable and publicly available (though I’ve never encountered anyone in this scenario myself).
