As you know, I’m still recovering, so I had to change my schedule programming on the blog lately. This article for example was not expected, but given the private messages I got on Facebook after announcing that « my account will be temporarily deactivate », I rather do a quick article, to which I could link those who would like more explanations.
Dear readers, although I’m concerned by privacy, fortunately (or unfortunately) there’s no dramas behind this decision, no privacy issues, neither unconscious Addiction, Facebook envy, jealousy or gossip, no breakup either. I know all the huge benefits of Facebook as a solopreneur. The reason for « my desactivation » is very simple, I have to take a break on the internet, and since my Facebook presence is totally rely to my blog, I have no reason to maintain inactive account, that why, I decided to desactivate my account.
Note that I referred to deactivate not deleteing it. Facebook does allow you to completely delete your account, but they’d much rather you just deactivate it instead. When you deactivate your account, Facebook saves all of your settings, photos, and information in case you decide to reactivate your account. Your information isn’t gone—it’s just hidden. No one will be able to contact you on Facebook or view the things you’ve shared, including your Timeline, status updates, photos, and so on. If you decide that you’d like to return to Facebook, you’ll still be able to reactivate your account and recover your old information. If you want to reactivate it, all you have to do is log in — it’s that simple.
I can’t tell you exactly, how long this facebook desactivation will last, however you could always call or email me. I know a lot of you are not on Facebook, but I never really asked why. So let me know your reasons in the comment bellow, and for those of you who are on Facebook, what do you think about deactivating your account? Have you ever tried it? Can’t wait to read your thoughts !
For me it’s the best news of the day and the year too.

No Dominique, I see Facebook as a very good business too when you know how to use publicity is terrific to talk to people who are looking for you…Do you see what I mean ?
I create an account only because you have to for a facebook page, than my FBP failed now I’m not active on FB
Yes it’s easy to create Jordan, the most difficult thing is the engagment and interaction with your community…Anyway it’s not because you didn’t made it once, that you can’t try again right ?
Desactivate is not a problem but you can’t ignore that you need to maintain a certain link, how do you think to reactivate, what is your strategy?

You’re totally right coach, I thought about it…Let talk in private !
I care too much of my privacy to go back to Facebook they do all they want it’s a no sense company everything for the brand and no respect for people data.
Humm Anton, well it’s might be true, I don’t know for certain, I don’t work for them. The good thing is that no one is obliged to be on Facebook. Thanks for the feedback !
I had used Facebook for four years before I finally decided to stop using it. Boring and time consuming.
Well I can understand your point of view Christian thank you for sharing that. As far as I’m concerned, I have a schedule for Facebook and when my time is up, I disconnect, no excuses…
I’m not so often on Facebook, I don’t think to quit because I use it only in a special way with other experts too, it’s not personal, not a lot. You see my profile Grace you can tell.
Yes Luca, I can rely to your experience and use of Facebook. Can’t wait to meet your experts dear !!!
