   It doesn't work that way.  First of all, even if you don't use it, people   
   are putting your personal information up on it when they are talking to   
   their friends about you.   
      
   Secondly, if you are running a business, you may need to have a facebook   
   presence for advertising just because that is the first place that many   
   people look for some services.  You can avoid using it but not without   
   losing a lot of customers.
