Hello all, my friends are facebook addicts!
They update their profile several times a day. The updates are simply "I'm going home now" or "I'm eating lunch with ... ". They usually sent it from their blackberry.
I think those updates are unnecessary at all! I only update my status when there's an interesting event going on or there's something unusual I wanna share with my friends.
Mostly about once a day or even only several times a week. I don't log in to facebook everyday though because I'm started to get bored with it..
What about you?? Let's share:)

I log in many time a day, but i never update my status because i never seem to be doing much, and i know a lot of people update with everything they are doing like eating lunch at home and watching TV, but i don't want everyone knowing what im doing at all times because its not really everyone's business. If i want to add something on their its about maybe football or if I'm going out of town or something that everyone needs to know at the moment.
I think updating your status like every other hour is non sense and you don't need everyone knowing what you are doing every second of the day.

Yes that's exactly how I feel. I even think updating too often is annoying.

hm, i seldom to update my status. i dont know why iam lazy to update status.i prefer respond other status. if i update my status, its only promote my url link or show my expression to my favourite club football (AS ROMA). i hate the person always update their status with annoying and rubbish statement like "iam home", or @ Station Tugu, one hours ago we are travelling or some kind like that" it make my facebook more slowly (maybe my connection is never stable).

Yes facebook is a nice way to promote our url, especially to tell our friends that there are new posts on our blogs.

I never could understand why people feel the need to let people know every little thing. I agree with you..I dont care if your eating now or going home now.. My status updates only when somthing important is going on.. It may not interest everyone but at least they dont have to hear everytime I leave my house

True. It's not like the updates have anything to do with us nor affect us..

actually that's the one reason my family have facbook accounts. We like the games there. It's far more fun to play on facebook than updating your status, I think.

I know what you mean... Sometimes, they update about their sleeping time or they are cooking or even it's raining! Sometimes I feel like I just want to comment 'so what?' But I don't want to be rude and that will be very sensitive to some people.
I seldom update my status like that. I would only update something important or upcoming events or unusual things and not those common things above. I mean today about 'cooking', then tomorrow 'cooking'... That's so lame and I just ignore that kind of status unless I know the person never cooks, then, it will be interesting to tease him or her!

Yes the games is the one feature that keeps me logging in to facebook. It's interesting to play with your friends and trying to score higher than them. Hahaaa..

I update my status on myspace every once in awhile, maybe once a week, or maybe even once a month. My husband and I have a facebook, but we've not been on it for too long, I think I've updated the status twice, once to say I'm married, the next just to say I'm online trying to earn gift cards.
I think it's unnecessary to say every little thing that is being done too.

I used to do so about once a day...but then it became so slow-running (Facebook) that it took too much time. I update now about once a month and keep in touch with family more often by direct e-mail.

hi nooveggies
well i once used to be addict to all these facebook and orkut things, but i don't do them much these days, only at times i check if someone had sent me anything and i would mostly respond to them but yeah when someone has a birthday and all i do stay active for a while... well talking about changing status, i really do change when i feel them, i mean if something happens good i log in and put some happy status messages and when something bad happens i write something weird, well that is how i change my status messages, it's kind of live... changes when it happens.

Yes, when there's a major change in live only then I'll update my status. I also spend little time on the site because I got bored easily.

Too much of facebook would soon get boring, i would never do all those kind of updates, why should everyone know when i am eating and who i am with, it is totally unnecessary, it pisses me off. I dont even do updates every month

That's the case with me too. I'm kinda annoyed by those not so important updates my friends post but what can we do, they're just excited to be on facebook I guess..

I too use a service to update my status automatically whenever I publish a new post on my blog. It's also to increase traffic to my blog by notifying my friends of my new post.

I log in to facebook multiple times a day for hours at a time. At night I am usually on from 7:30-11 or even longer then that. I chat with people and check out all the status updates. The more friends you have the more updates you have to get through. I usually post a discussion in the morning writting what I have to do that day or at night writting wha I did that day. Sometimes I just have something funny happen and share that as well. I dont like to clutter up peoples feeds to much especially since I do the social interview I think its called and that just shows up on peoples feeds as well. I dont want to annoy people by posting things constantly like running to the bathroom... running to the post office... home now reading a book etc.

I hardly update my status. I usually change it when something important happened or if I met a few friends of mine who also has a facebook. I am not really the type who shares to everybody what I am doing every single moment and would rather share it to people I know thru twitter instead.
