I had an account in college when it was college-only and it was awesome. Then they let my mother-in-law and Rob Scoble and my boss join and it wasn't fun anymore so I deleted my account.
It's wonderful not having the account, though. I recently ran into someone in charge of my High School's reunion this year and they couldn't find my address. I told them to look me up on Facebook later and that was the end of that conversation. Also, I don't get random "friend" requests from ex-girlfriends anymore.
It really didn't have anything to do with feeding the Zuckerborg. It just got incredibly tame very quickly, becoming less of a reflection of my friends and classmates and more of a reflection of my friends and classmates when our mothers and bosses are around.
