Afraid/disgusted of Facebook? Use this link to delete your account

I deleted my facebook account last year after i upgraded to the new timeline which was still a preview to developers only. I was concerned about the lack of privacy at the time, it was only till recently that they included more settings. The one thing i regretted the most was losing my facebook vanity url. Even after deleting your account your url (facebook.com/username) is gone forever!

I have been off Facebook for sometime now for a variety of reasons. People who know me are probably tired of my rants about privacy, data retention, and other Facebook woes. But I have years of pictures on there, and conversations, and memories. I have downloaded a back up of it all but can't bring myself to click that delete button. It'd be like burning my journals!
