According to CNN, a majority of people plan to use Facebook about the same amount in 2013 when compared to 2012, about 61 percent of users said they have taken a hiatus from the social site in the past year.
Most of them don't delete their profiles, but had various reasons for not logging on.
Among the comments from those who took Facebook breaks: "I was tired of stupid comments." ... "(I had) crazy friends. I did not want to be contacted." ... "I took a break when it got boring." ... "It was not getting me anywhere." ... "You get burned out on it after a while." ... "I gave it up for Lent." ... "People were (posting) what they had for dinner." ...
