I can't get this free app b/c I deleted my Facebook account, but you can - pinkoos - 11-30-2011
Just passing this on:
http://apps.facebook.com/freeonappstore/
You should be able to get Where's my Water for free (normally 99 cents). I can't actually see the offering since I'm not on fb anymore.
Here's the link to the iTunes Store:

I've NEVER been on Facebook and don't expect I ever will.

Pinkoos, can you say more about why you deleted your account and how that decision has worked for you?
(no way this is going to be anything but another facebook ranting thread-- don't blame me!)

Can you say a little bit about why you like not being on Facebook better than what you think it might be like to be on it?

"Can you say a little bit about why you like not being on Facebook better than what you think it might be like to be on it?"
Privacy
Anything posted on Facebook (and other Social Networking sites) is basically fair game for the world. No real privacy or control once a post is made. Even if you "delete" information, it will still be floating around somewhere online. You best defense is simply NOT to give up your personal information in the first place.
Everyday, new "data harvesting" techniques are created. What you think is safe today, won't be safe tomorrow.

It has been fine. I don't miss anything other than people's birthdays. However, writing "happy birthday" on their wall seemed so much less personal than actually picking up the phone that I don't really miss the birthdays anyway.

Nope, caught that. Don't we want to have that discussion monthly?
