Social media dilemma, what are your thoughts?

[NO LONGER USING THIS ACCOUNT!]

I just recently deleted my Facebook account and have found my life to be so much less stressful! My question is for those of you who have done the same. I wish I could keep up with acquaintances who I don't talk to on a daily basis but like to see how their life is going (ex, wedding photos, new pregnancies, etc.) I am just wondering if you think the benefit of removing Facebook from my life outweighs the little things I am missing. I should explain that I have also had problems with people adding me just to look at my profile and then deleting me before I could figure out who they were. That is one of the reasons I deleted it. You never know who is real and who is just a creepy lurker! Any thoughts about Facebook and deletion? Please no rude comments.
