HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF QUITTING YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT?

Are you fed up with Facebook? All these notifications and emails to manage everyday?

We're calling it a Facebook Account Mass Suicide!! The idea is that on August 4, we, acting as a collective movement of users, can effect Facebook's user stats for that one day. On that day, some of us are going to delete our Facebook Data Doubles forever, some of us are going to disable our accounts for the day, and some of us are simply going to not log on for the day.
