The funny thing is that Facebook already has so much of our older data that they can use, even if you delete your account now you never know what they will do with it in the future. In 2008 when I got peer pressured by my work colleagues by saying that if I don't create an account then they will do it for me and I didn't want to be misrepresented on where I knew most of the people already were.

I think a lot of great content and conversations happened between 2007 and 2013 or something like that.
