Is there anyone who's moved overseas and quit Facebook, and benefited from it?

Because for me it's my primary link between my home country, where I live now, and all my other international friends. Sure, I could use email to keep in touch, but the problem with email is that it's an active communications medium, unless you have a mailing list and email everyone what you're up to, you don't keep up to date with what your friends are doing.

Yep. Not sure how old you are, maybe it's an age thing? I'm in my early thirties, live abroad and don't have an FB account.

I stay in touch with my friends and family back home with phone, sms, whatsapp, skype, email and birthday/christmas cards in the post. Works fine.

You should be aware that WhatsApp _is_ Facebook, or at least is owned by them.

It'll become crap over time. Watch this space.

Very aware MZ needs to find a way to get some ROI on his investment. If/when it becomes shit, I'll drop it.
