Facebook: "Like" It or Leave It

The changes made to Facebook over the past few weeks have led to many users questioning their allegiance to the world's most popular social network, even threatening to leave Facebook altogether.

And on May 31st, these fuming Facebookers will have the chance to put their proverbial money (or credits in this case) where their mouth is, because Memorial Day has also been designated as Quit Facebook Day.

With that day right around the corner, the big question now is: will this mass Facebook exodus actually happen?

Some say it will, others say it's simply blowing smoke, while some simply point out the irony of organizing a day devoted to quitting Facebook through Facebook.

Personally, I plan on keeping my account. While I'm not a fan of these changes nor do I like them (puns intended), I do believe that the heat Facebook has taken over these changes will lead to more positive innovations in the future.

Either way, I'm sure Zuckerberg will be keeping a close eye on who stays and who goes come Monday.
