I still exist without Facebook. The people in my life I care about know that they can email me (to a non-Gmail account).

It's not that impossible to be "off the grid" so to speak. The vast majority of Facebook interaction I see is pretty banal anyway. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

What email provider do you use?
