Did you know that May 31 was “Quit Facebook Day”? If you happened to miss it, you’re far from alone as QFD came and went quickly with only 36,000 people actually quitting Facebook.

The fact QFD flopped is not a surprise. With the Gulf of Mexico awash in oil from BP’s environmental disaster, there are far more important things to worry about than saying goodbye to Facebook.

While the people behind QFD probably had good intentions, their efforts were doomed to fail. While there are real concerns about Facebook’s ever-evolving privacy policies, people aren’t mad enough to walk away from Facebook.

The reality is despite Facebook’s strategic stumble, most people like using Facebook because it’s an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family.

Second, the vast majority of people have little or no concern about their privacy. In fact, most people have probably never looked at their privacy settings.

Third, there’s no viable alternatives if you decide to leave Facebook. What are you going to do, go to MySpace? That would be a crazy move.

Instead of leaving Facebook, most people look at it as an immature child. You love the child and, as a result, live with their dumb-ass moves because that’s just part of growing up. This is why QFD hardly caused a ripple.
