I am finally off facebook. It was a easy enough process, just fill a form out and send it. Anyways, I have few friends on facebook.
I won’t be back till they earn my trust by putting a “Delete my Account” link right next to the “Deactivate Account”.
Update:
A few have asked on how to do this. You simply contact them using the contact form, and put “Delete my account” in the subject, and “Delete my account” in the body, with or without any additional comments. Thanks to the “How to I delete my facebook account” facebook group for this tip

Posted 10 Mar 2008 at 11:05 pm ¶Christer,
In your account page, there is a contact form which you can use to contact facebook customer support.
Just put : “Delete my account” in the subject and in the body of the email.

Posted 10 Mar 2008 at 11:47 pm ¶do you reckon they actually deleted your information, though?
Posted 11 Mar 2008 at 4:26 am ¶So now we now the “how”… My question is “Why?”
Posted 11 Mar 2008 at 6:08 am ¶Why did you delete your account, when you state you’ll come back only if they give you a button with which to delete your account again? This makes no sense to me.
It’s called integrity. But you might know it is making a stand. It’s also why Venkat is so cool.
Also, Hi Venkat! I posted on your blog
