I deactivated my Facebook account. It was getting to be too much hassle for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons is that people were sending me stuff related to my work and expecting me to act upon it. I only did FB for fun and want to separate my private life from my professional life.
I also was too lenient in letting people be my "friend". I didn't know everyone who signed on and figured some of them read my book or some article I had written. When one of them happened to be an attractive young lady it created some tensions at home and I didn't need that.
Besides, I rarely was on FB. I never look at people's profiles. I posted updates once in a while from my blackberry and the blog on davidyonke.com was linked to FB, so whenever I posted a blog it would pop up on Facebook and I'd often get comments about it.
Now people can just go to my website if they want to read my blog. Here is a link.
That will be better for me anyway, because it will give me a more accurate account of how many readers and hits the blog is getting. Last week my blog had more than 4,300 unique visits, and that doesn't count the people who read it on FB.
Anyway, if you were a FB "friend" and want to stay in touch you can read my blog and send me emails. My work email address can be found all over the internet. My personal email is davidyonke@hotmail.com.
Or you can follow me on Twitter. I might be using that more frequently now. My Twitter name is Whirlpeace.
Hasta la vista, amigos y amigas.
