Yep I'm addicted. Everyday I get on multiple times. Mainly for the games though. Who care about my giant list of people I don't know. I only use them for games. Lol. Like only 40 people are my actual friends and the other 100 are people for the games. I play Yoville, Farm Town, Make a Baby, Superpoke pets, Vampire Wars, Mafia Wars, Sorority Life and Resturant Wars. There's even an app that's called are you addicted to facebook and it calculates how addicted you are from your activity on the site. I got 90% addicted.

LOL@ExodusRain.. only an extra 100 people? I have 1338 people (as of this writing) And let me tell you I don't know THAT many people... lol I have over 800 people added just to my Mafia wars. The other people are for other groups..

I guess I'm addicted, too. I try to log-on everyday to play mafia wars, yoville and farkle, among other applications. I have found old friends and have made new friends. I've found family members I haven't seen in ages. This is how we communicate. I have about 30 people that I actually know personally. The rest are for the games. There's a give and take element there, too. So there's actually a relationship with all of your Facebook friends. I like the feeling of community I get there.

20 hours in Facebook? Wow.. I can never reach that, awesome. The most I would be per day is perhaps around 2-3 hours only. I can never go beyond that, maybe because of my schedule which is tight. I'm a big fan of Mafia Wars too; I can spend some good time reading stuffs on forums about this game, how to loot some items and all that.

yes reading Forum about the games we like,playing the games and recruiting the members is all we do and sometimes an update about something silly.Well can't figure out how it would be like if there wasn't Facebook.I admire those who created it though they are earning in millions.

I would have to say that since I sign onto it almost every single day. And I can't live without my mafia wars.. Yea, I am probably addicted to Facebook.. I am on it all night long while I am at work (3rd shift) And usually come on it again for a few hours at home. I try to not come on as much on my days off and just relax- but that doesn't always work out very well. :)

I do nothing on Facebook anymore because I've just cancelled my account and found it strangely liberating! I think others should do the same because I am sure it is stopping us all from making real friends.

I do think the way you think sometimes.Facebook is really ruining many people's social life.We are so drawn to the virtual world where we are anything we want, so much that we don't feel like or we don't see the need to live in the real world.It was very brave of you to delete your account.I have tried to delete my account , I think I am way more addicted to Facebook than I think I am.Have a Nice Day
