I have a facebook page for my business, but I really have been considering just purging my page down to essentially nothing, and just keeping a minimal presence for the business page.

Re: Delete Facebook
That's how I find my girlfriends..... I just follow them on Twitter and Facebook.... Then I go after the lonely ones.
I like Facebook only because it allows me to see what people are really like before I consider bringing them in to interview for a position at my company. We have really dodged some bullets. I throw out 7 out of 10 resumes based on what we find on their FB page.
On a personal level. I can't stand Facebook.

I'm pretty sure I didn't get a job because Facebook had reset my privacy policies for me with one of their redesigns (so I had *no* privacy) and my cover photo showed gourmet beers (I buy in bulk).
Note: I drink for taste, and one beer generally in an evening. I don't go out and party so there were no absurd pictures of me puking in an alley, just the one shot of a row of craft beers. If this was why I didn't get hired, their loss!
With the amount I'm away from home, and the fact that most of my friends are in Denver and I'm not, Facebook helps keep in touch a little with them.
But I don't put what I'm doing all the time on it, either. And I sure the hell don't use the other crap like Twitter.

this reminds me I need to update my status...

"When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." ~ Chief Tecumseh

I haven't had GPS-Book in years. I find it a little too eager to track my location, mine/broadcast my personal info, and generally waste my time. Not to mention I have numerous ex-gf's which apparently look me up frequently enough to initiate contact every time I signed on. Decided early on that it was counter-productive to my belief in marital fidelity.
Never have never will.
