Alec Baldwin Quits Twitter... Again: Have You Ever Quit a Social Media Site?

Marrying a yoga instructor is probably both a good personal and professional move for Alec Baldwin. Not only does the slimmed-down actor look sexier than he has in years, but she just may finally be able to help him heal his life force a bit, too. Just days after Baldwin’s second run-in with the paparazzi in a week, there’s obviously still some serious work to be done. But it seems like Baldwin might have taken the first step toward serious introspection recently by quitting Twitter.

The “30 Rock” star has been active on the social network for a long time. Using it to sound off about politics, chatting with celebrity friends and complaining about American Airlines. His run-in with a flight attendant over his game of “Words with Friends,” caused Baldwin to deactivate his account the first time.

The celebrity hasn’t given a reason for this latest social media blackout. But it’s hard to ignore the timing in relationship to his latest public confrontations and a new “Vanity Fair” article in which he admits to sometimes behaving “childishly” with the paps. So does Baldwin’s final message of “It’s been fun” mean he’ll be gone for good? His new bride is still tweeting under the new handle of @hilariabaldwin — so it doesn’t seem like he’s just taking a honeymoon break.

Maybe he’s using his new marriage as a reason to regroup and get some perspective on life. That could include embracing a much more private way of existence. In this technology fueled world of over-sharing, the concept of being not so public does sound appealing — even for the non-famous. So we wonder: Have you ever quit a social media site?

    He is a narcissistic pig. He will be back. His ego can't help it. He is probably his biggest follower.

    I find it to be too immature of an act for me to do. For one I have contacts on social media that I don't get the chance to speak to offline (I don't accept requests unless I personally know the person). Second reason is that these social media sites only deactivate your account - your account is still there and accessible even if you do delete....which defeats the purpose in the first place. No thank you!

    Unless you count the very very brief time I was on myspace. I didn't delete my account but I only went on it a handful of times before getting frustrated with it and the ease of Facebook won out.
    I have never truly quit a site other than that.

    I deleted my Facebook account last month. It was very easy not to log in for those 14 days it took to confirm deletion. I don't miss it either.

    I had a twitter for about a week and then got rid of it. I also got rid of my myspace a few years ago (which I LOVED until they changed it all), I quit myyearbook because I kept getting guys and girls trying to have sex with me ALL the time and then realized that is almost the only reason people get on there and that's not cool with me, I just liked the games lol.

    All social networking accounts I deactivated. I was tired of people judging me for dating someone of the same sex.
    How does it effect their life anyways?

    Although I disagree with your nastiness, WHY DON'T You JUST IGNORE THE SONS OF BITCHES!!?? People are gonna judge you for more than just that in life and I had to learn that the hard way, I quit my job because of the people at work being rude to me, AND I SORT OF NEEDED THAT JOB (as a High School student)!!! But the deactivation thing is great, I deactivated my FB account because I was sick of drama and BS form my family and friends!!!

    You're talking nastier than they are, its hard to disagree with something that you take part in XD. Going to high school isn't a job x.x why don't you take your own advice?
