"Facebook Quit Day" by Sunil Ramsamooj
A Discussion With It's Creator
"In the past several weeks, Facebook has come under fire after widely publicizing changes in privacy settings. With over 400 million users in its grasp and the Internet seemingly bowing down to its every need, this negative publicity must be making Facebook a little uncomfortable, and it’s just getting worse.

He currently runs his own company that specializes in the strategic side of interaction design for the web and devices."
