How many of you are actually 'addicted' to Facebook? My friend Jenny, is online 24/7 maintaining her Pet Society and many more features from Facebook. She can't eat, sleep or do anything peacefully unless she is rest assured everything in her Facebook is in tip top condition. She is not the only one. My sister and many more are like her. Whenever I ring them or visits them, they'll be like in a hurry to get back in front of their PC to continue their Facebook activity.
I am lucky I am not so into Facebook. But I am kinda 'addicted' to blogging. I make sure my blog is updated daily from Mon-Fri.
Tell me, are YOU 'addicted' to Facebook? If yes, share with me WHAT is strong enough to take you off Facebook even for a minute?

I wasn't at first. Had an account for years without doing much with it. But then as more family/friends starting Facebook accounts, it became so easy to update everyone with family pictures, status updates, links, etc. Then I discovered some of the better gaming apps, like Farm Town, and now I'm on there several times a day!

Oh gosh, Farm Town is the ONE thing that I am keeping away from. So extremely additive! I wont be able to do anything once I am addicted to one of the game in Facebook. That is why I am doing my best to refrain from Facebook and not take any interest in their games. Hahaha

I planted tomatoes in real life and waited 4 months, no harvest! better to do it online in cyberspace! 4 days can harvest and sell! LOL

It is addictive. I was on there a lot until I could finally plant pumpkins (the most profitable crop in the game) and now I have to wait at least 4 days for them to be ready to harvest, so that helps. LOL

I don't understand. You are not addicted to blog, you are addicted to myLot and are also updating your blog. What about Facebook? My question here is, are you addicted to Facebook?

Not really. I use it but I get on it about 2 or 3 days and never on the weekends. It is not really that big of a deal to me. However I do know people that stay on it all the time.

YES! I definitely addicted... beside the 2 blogs I open in the morning, FB will be the next on tab followed by news and so forth! But recently, I find myself addicted more to my blogs, managing it and also viewing the comments. I find blogging has more to learn... :)
