Ok, the third person in as many days, has just announced that they are leaving Facebook...

...via Facebook. Three unrelated in any way people have announced they are closing or abandoning their accounts. Warning those connected to them, and providing email addresses, phone numbers, or nothing.

I'm not really a Facebook 'participant.' I only joined under pestering by friends and relatives. It mostly sits there and I get an email when I am Facebook-emailed (not often).

Is there some mass exodus happening or about to happen? I know Facebook is unaffected by Google+ because the failed social network is virtually deserted.

Coincidence?
