My friend noticed a neat little Facebook feature as he was playing around with FB today. Apparently, if you want to deactivate your account, Facebook tries to really lay on the guilt trip! See screen grab below:

Not only does it grab some of your friends into this handy little app – it grabs photos of you tagged with your friends! And! From what I can tell, it grabs friends that have recently written on your wall in a somewhat recent past. Whoeever thoughts this up is good.

I was trying to think of why I hadn’t heard of this application before when I realized, duh, all my friends are Facebook Freaks and we would rather die a thousand times over rathe than deactivate our account. So that’s that.

Anyway, the point of this blog post was that I wanted to point out some good strategic thinking on Facebook’s part. I’d really love to know if the deactivation rate decreased after implementing this. I’m sure it must have.

So tell me, bloggy bears, would this deter you from deleting your account? Or would it not make a different at all? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
