I left facebook today and it was really liberating. I left because:
- It wasted a lot of my time – I excel at procrastinating.
- I got bored of being poked online and bought virtual drinks.
- I wrongly thought it would serve as a professional tool.
- I only seemed to use it for promoting and I can do that on my personal web space/twitter.
Has anyone heard the new Erykah Badu album? New Amerykah, Pt. One (4th World War)? Glossy Madlib production and quasi socio political lyrics about the struggle for African-Americans. As a drum and bass head back at uni I like how it’s beat heavy and has fat, head nodding bass lines. The album is not as a mind blowing as Baduizm and Mama’s Gun but its good to have her back. Favourite tracks are the hypnotic “My people” and “Master Teacher”.
You’re one of many people I’ve seen leave Facebook. I think the social networking phenomenon has had its day!
