Yes, I have. I disliked all the pages I had initially liked on Facebook and I don't really care about celebrities and stuff...so why should I even care to go on to twitter.

In case of addiction it is not in human hand. But can change their mind set to get away from that for some time instead of being too addictive for facebook/twitter/whatever things.

yes,HH ,I still think I 'control' my 'addiction'
Not everybody is unaware of what's going on, some people actually read the fine print,do their research and make a decision ,you shouldn't throw everybody into the same bag.
I LIKE using face book ,checked out twitter, couldn't see the point of it, got rid of it.
So how was/is your experience with F/B and Twitter?

YES...and one of the best way is Sports... physical, metal...any sports...and you can see a change in you even if you are drug addict,,however exercise won,t help because it is done alone..if you do it in group it will help too.
