The Excision of Facebook

So, day two without the facebook. I feel a bit disconnected from the world, but I stand with my initial concept that facebook has lead to the weakening of some of what were once my strongest friendships. Rather than grabbing a beer, or going to a movie, or shooting pool with my friends, it became acceptable to say hi in passing on facebook, and as the years have progressed, so many of my friends have become vastly more distant. So in an attempt to regain the personal contact of my friendships, I deleted facebook. I'm curious as to whether or not it will have the desired effect.
