I have just recently created an account in facebook. At first, I was a bit skeptical about this network. The reason why I got encouraged to make my own account was because i was receiving a lot of invites through e-mail from my friends. I got very intrigued, so I tried registering. It didn't had any appeal to me at first since I was still a newbie but when I had the chance to explore, i got automatically hooked to it! There isn't a day now that i don't check my account there.
I found it very amusing since I was able to play hot games, and most importantly, I became more in touch with friends. Especially to those whom I've never seen for the longest time. It's popular in other countries as well so it was easy for me to find some relatives and friends who were already residing in abroad.
I like taking the tests and quizzes they make there too. lol And when you like the results, you can publish it in your wall so that everyone under your network could see it. It's not very hard to get in touch with people once you're already stable.

Yes, I'm addict to Facebook too. I found out that it is really fun to take the quiz and compare results with my friends. Game on Facebook really are great too! Facebook has so many applications that keep me in touch with my friends. It's enjoyable!
Before I register my account in Facebook, I have my account on Hi5 and find out that Hi5 has nothing interesting at all. So I left my Hi5 and start to invite my friends to Facebook, but most of my friends don't really interested in Facebook. All my friends that join Facebook is addicted to it!

Me too... Most f my closest friends aren't fans of facebook so I get in touch with them with a different social networking site. But I still got fond if it, since I was able to see and talk with the friends that I've lost in touch with over the longest time. :) I got really excited when I got to hear from my gradeschool classmates and even teacher... hahaha!

I had a facebook for a while and I didn't use it because I didn't understand how it worked at first. Which was my mistake because I was so stuck on myspace, but I actually like Facebook more. I'm on it just about every day, my friend called it "the grown Myspace" the other day and it made a lot of sense. If you look at myspace now... they copied A LOT of stuff off of facebook and it's amusing. It's almost letting you know that hey facebook is better than myspace.

I didn't pay attention to facebook at first since I didn't now how to get over it. When I got the hang of it, that's when I got interested. There are a lot of things you can do in facebook.
You're right about the fact that since it's becoming too popular right now, some of the social networking sites that have existed even before is copying some of it's features. It's just not myspace.

I was very skeptical of Facebook too in the beginning but now, I log on twice per day there just to keep a tab on my Mafia Wars game and other updates like quizzes which you have mentioned. I totally like quizzes there and in general, it's so easy to gain gaming friends as opposed to your real friends. I do know that Facebook's main intention is to keep friends and families close together, but I can also say that I have made some new friends along the way and normally those are friends from other sites and gaming ones.
I have also added at least 2 of mylot friends there and they are awesome. I admire a mylot member whom has an account there and she accepts my friend request. She is at 100+level for Mafia Wars and that is like super cool. I can never delete my account there. Whenever I get burned out in mylot, I would log on to Facebook and release my tension for a bit before coming back here to answer discussions. And it's great when I'm doing work because I skive along the way and these are the sites that I will always be on.

I have to be honest that I am addicted to Facebook and all of its application. Facebook is so easy to use and most of my friends are online there. This is the first time I can sat that I am addicted to something. I usually find myself addicted with food or work but this time its nice to hear myself say I am addicted to these little things in life that makes the world more fun.
