I tried not to mention several misuses of your data (personal info and pictures), rather i tried to elaborate the logical reasons to quit facebook. In fact on facebook people just continue to add hundreds even thousands of friends. Very rare they come in touch with other by paying personal attention. This phenomena creates more gaps among friends on facebook rather than to bridge the same.
If some one wants to add any further useful point to this blog post, then most welcome. Put comments and i would add the suggestion. Also if any one get some problem while implementing above mentioned steps then feel free to ask me for help.
