Facebook is pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. It has wormed it's little coding into our collective unconsciousness and made us feel that we are doing something proactive to be less lonely, miserable, depressed and isolated than we really are. Facebook is a digital simulation; mimesis of the Hyper-Real, faux communication which passes as "friendship," there is no "real" reason to maintain any presence on Facebook or any other digital social network. So I suppose I can't really give you any reason not to delete your account. It has certainly crossed my mind on a regular basis over the last few years. On the other hand you could jump in the car and come over to NYC where we could hang out and have a few "real" experiences which we can then promote on Facebook. Proving to others that we have "real" friends in the "real world."

A very interesting article from the UK Guardian newspaper highlighting the nature and differences  between reality in  Performance Art / Live Art and theatrical allusion.
