Social networking is a fantastic tool for staying connected with friends and family, and it’s even a great tool for business – when used correctly. Unfortunately, as great as it may be, one might want to leave Facebook for whatever reason.  It could be they accidentally created a duplicate account, they want a fresh start, or maybe they just feel uncomfortable with the ongoing privacy concerns with the network.
