Ok, I've never really been a big FB user, but before my vacation I broke down and downloaded the FB app on my blackberry. I didn't really think I'd use it much but I wanted to be able to post pics and make updates, I don't know why but I hate using my laptop when I'm traveling it just feels like an incovience. Well anyway back to FB, so I downloaded the app and since I haven't been able to stay off of Facebook. I really think I might be addicted! My husband aske me last night if I ever log off, I don't. I actually had a nightmare that I couldn't log on!
 
I used to be like this with Twitter but since I got the app I've barely tweeted. It's also severly cut into my SC time as well, I can't post because I'm too busy updating my FB status.
 
 I mean I really think they're going to have to start a 12 step program for these social networking sites.

    Face book is meant to be addictive, it an technology that allows humans to be even more social.

    Because our nature it is natural to be into it.

    I wanted to also say I love your quote, under your name.

    Finn is a huge Beatles / John Lennon fan.  So much so that our first born will be named Lennon if they are a boy.

    Mr. S- I guess I know that but there are just so many of them to be addicted to now. Five years ago all I had to take up my time was myspace!
     
    Thanks, I love The Beatles too!!!

    You know, I agree with you, it can be addictive, and that's what they're playing off of to get more users.  That's why there are so many different apps within the FB network and so much to do.  I admit to having the same situation, but mine comes and goes.  Some days I can't get away from it, others I'm barely on it for more than five minutes.  I also chalk it up to my obsessive compulsive behavior, lol, I can not let a day go by where I don't clear my requests, lol.

    Hege- Yeah that's so true, they really found a way to profit off of the more than 3 million people in this country with ocd. I'm also guilty, lol!

    Have any of you ever heard...

    A business man will sell you the noose to hang himself if he thinks there's a profit in it.

    In my experience that is what social networks are.

    Psych-ed would you like a method were your ocd could be cured?  I have something to sell, yes I do.

    If you are interested in playing a game with the prize being happiness message me.

    I can guarantee you will see the world differently.  Good differently at first, working towards Great, then Amazing.

    If you would call yourself courageous, I invite you to play.  UnicornForm has played and I am watching as she changes...It takes time, that is why you must be courageous.

    It is amazing.  As I know you can be.
