Online Marketing Company fishbat, Inc., Responds: 6 Things to Do Before You Delete Your Facebook Account

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) March 17, 2013

On March 17, 2013, online marketing company fishbat, Inc. releases a statement following a Mashable article outlining six steps people should take before they delete their Facebook account.

Mashable points out that there comes a time when a person might decide to delete their Facebook account. Maybe it’s to hide embarrassing photos from college when applying for a job, or maybe they’ve had enough of status updates. Whatever the reason, Mashable recommends six steps a person should take before they decide to delete their account.

The article states, “Remember, deleting your account is very different from deactivating your account. You can deactivate your account at any point, and when you want to return everything is as you left it. While your account is deactivated, people on Facebook will not be able to search for you, but some information like messages you've sent may still be visible to others.”

The article goes on to mention that the six steps are as follows:

•     Check Your Connected Apps – Certain apps require you sign in with Facebook, and if you delete your Facebook account, you lose access to these apps or sites as well.
•     Download Your Facebook Information – Downloading your Facebook information ensures that you still have a record of everything you’ve done on the site.
•     Ask for Your Friends’ Birthdays – Getting rid of Facebook also means getting rid of their friendly birthday reminders.
•     Store Your Facebook Information on the Cloud – Storing your Facebook information online makes it easier to retrieve if you decide to return.
•     Optimize Your SEO Before You Go – You still may want potential employers to find you online, so make sure they can.

Justin Maas, VP of Client Relations at fishbat, commented on the Mashable article, “While it might seem out of the ordinary for someone to want to delete their Facebook, these are solid steps to take to make sure your name is still out on the Internet for people to see. Some of the tips also offer a great way on how to store your information, in case a person decides to return to Facebook.”
