I am dropping MySpace by December 1st. I have only had a few responses to my posts and I’ve already created a mailing list for those people. It already feels liberating to know that I’m dropping it.
I now have to deal with my commitment and follow through as well. It’s a little different for a few people though. I have just found two people from my past that I haven’t seen in a while. Just now adding them as friends and then vowing to leave MySpace feels kinda weird.
I’m going to limit myself to logging in only once at the end of every day. The best way to do that is to delete the bookmark I have for the site. Making it harder (like typing myspace ctrl+Enter is really that hard) has been proven in scientific studies to lower the amount of time doing it.
