About two years ago, and +2,000 followers I deleted my twitter account. Why pray tell?

Because they wanted my cell phone number, and my personal Identification, not unlike paypal.

Twitter was anonymous, and now its not; I think its not growing just like gmail.com, before when it was all anonymous many people were joining, now going in people know they have no anonymity, thus many simply don't complete the registration process once they know that twitter is collecting everything about them, and knows exactly who there are, & where they are ( cell phone tracking device ).

Game over for anonymity, and that marked the end of growth for social networking.

About two years ago for twitter.
