I use facebook and I am kind of addicted to this site that without surfing it atleast once in a day, I cannot satisfy myself. Not only me, maybe most of all, everybody is addicted to facebook and its applications. And I have also realised that many people are using facebook than any other social networking site.
I really don't understand why is it so. Why is facebook getting so popular everywhere? Are you also addicted to this site? What do you like about this site very much? I would love your responses. Have a nice day!:)

I don't like facebook anymore. It used to be kind of nice and its obviously got great potential as software and networking tool. I just hate that everyone devotes this much time to it already. I also don't like that non-college students can use it now. I have deactivated my account because I don't want to use it or find wasting my time idly like that fun.

I am no facebook addict. I don't even take time to create an account with that social site. I am not interested with socializing online without earning anything. Well maybe I am old and too wise. But it is better to use time wisely. I'm paying for my internet connection so I should earn out of it. I don't think using up my time with facebook is profitable so sorry but I am not one of those who are addicted or crazy about that social site.

maybe because facebook is easy to log in, even in a simple 3G cell phone. i use too visit this site because i can easily log in. it is hard to log in via cell phone to My Lot, because my cell is low end tech cell. I guess that is my reason why i facebook is getting popular.

Yea, maybe this could be one of the reason as well. I also log into my facebook account through my psp in which everything is easy to do but in other websites like twitter, it is difficult to log in and view the site properly. Anyways, Thanks for your response!

I find Facebook is a great way to communicate with my friends that have moved away for university, especially since they are on every day like I am. It's also been very convenient for me to start a group where I can sell off some of my unwanted clothing items and some new ones that I bought just for the purpose of selling. I am not actually addicted to Facebook a whole lot, I can go without checking it, but I don't like seeing my message box or my notifications pile up so I do tend to check every two hours or so. I rarely ever use Facebook's applications because I find that it defeats the purpose of social networking. I guess Facebook is just so popular because it's convenient.

I have been on facebook for a long time, at first I really liked it but now that it's getting more and more popular, I don't like it like I use to do before. Facebook is getting more and more popular because everyone is getting connected to it, which also makes it a dangerous place.

This is like too much. What kind of right is this for the police and government to get access to anyone's facebook account. Even though they are meant for the country's protection, they can do soemthing wrong as well as times. We cannot trust them. They shouldn't be able to get access to our accounts. What about you?

Facebook is one of the websites i visit everyday. I stopped schooling due to diabetes and I didn't had the chance to look for a stable job. most of my time were spent at home. i spent my time putting up my own blogsite and making it appear on different search engines. when i got a page rank of three on my website, i received many opportunities from get to paid blog sites particularly from sponsored reviews wherein i earned PHP 40,000 in just one year.. i also got myself into article writing job... when i have got nothing to do, i visit facebook and read my friends' updates.. i also play cafe world, pet society and restaurant city... facebook is indeed addicting...

Earning PHP 40,000 is like great. It is good taht you weren't idle sitting at home. You started article writing, made your own blogsites, etc, that is like great. Yes, facebook is indeed a good site to play applications and be in touch with everyone. Thanx for your response and have a nice day!:)

The last time i heard, facebook already got more than 300 hundred million subscribers and counting. It's really something. I guess, Facebook has brilliant people working behind it to achieve such feat. What i like about the site is the ability to find long lost friends and classmates. It's a good site to update oneself of long lost friends. Even find someone whom you have lost contact with overtime. And of course the chat feature. I don't go for the games since i rather spend time here in mylot posting to discussions.

Yeah, I know people that have Facebook on the brain all of the time. It kind of amuses me at times and scares me in other ways. Of course, I am on this website, but there are times where I do not visit for days at a time. I guess I have not been pulled in to it like others have. Signed up, am on there to re-connect with people I know in real life that have since moved on, but pretty much that is the extent where my Facebook activity is.
Still it is very easy to get caught up in an Internet website. I do not want to really use addicted, because that is a rather strong word. Obsessed might be a good enough word, yeah let's go with obsessed, because that fits rather well. Facebook is one of those websites that can lend itself to that, even though I personally have not been one of those people. Still others have been among those individuals who have been pulled into the web that is Facebook.

Yea, you are right that addicted is quite a strong word but in reality it is true that people are not actually obsessed with it, maybe some are but they are getting almost addicted to it. And according to me, small kids, I mean school kids are getting addicted more to it. It is good that you use facebook to an extent because excess use of facebook might even be dangerous.
Thanks for your response. Have a nice day!

Initially i was using facebook in order to get contact with friends and playing some games. Now a days as i do not have enough time, i am rarely going to facebook. is there any latest new updates? But it is a best social networking where we all get together.

Facebook is getting popular everywhere because of its games and most people use it for social networking. Young and old enjoy playing games in farmville, farmtown,etc.
At First it was really addicting but when I join mylot, I seldom visit facebook.

i'm not really crazy about facebook... in fact, to be really honest with you, i don't really like to visit it and hardly logged into my account... i don't know why... just not my type i guess... i prefer to do other things on the net rather than to be in facebook for some reasons... take care and have a nice day...

I am not an addict of the site although I do have an account there. My secret, no applications. I noticed that most users get hooked because of the games and applications the site offers. I did find some of the games and applications amusing and fun, or at least good enough to pass the time, using my girlfriend's account though. I made it a point not to participate in any games with my account so that I'll limit my facebook usage. My girlfriend, on the other hand, asks me to watch over her farm and aquarium from time to time since she doesn't have an internet connection at home, so I just do it. In a way, it's still like I'm the one playing all through the game. Anyway, I like facebook for it's features but I think it's just as good as any other social networking site.

It is good taht you aren't addicted to this site as addiction to such things like internet and games can be bad at times. Anyways you use your girlfriend's facebook to check out the games, that is really nice and sweet! Thanx for your response, I really appreciate it!

honestly i am not on there very much even though i have an account there and a few friends on there.
I am not even sure what it is that you do on there and someone who really have to explain it to me in detail so i would know what it is all about.
I have friends and some family that use it so if i needed to send out a quick message i could do it on there i suppose, but i am not on there too often as i have too many other sites, including this one that i visit much more often then facebook if i understood the site a little more i might visit it more often, but as it is i probably will not.
I do see that is seems to be getting more popular, however i wonder what is it that makes people like it so much and why is it so addictive to some?

Hey timhinyy...Frankly speaking facebook is a good site. I am not saying this becasue I am addicted to it but it is a really nice site. It is a site where you have loads of applications which is really fun. The applications include different quizzes, games,etc. Not only this you can get to know about your friend's status updates, their recent videos and other stuff as well. And according to me,these are the things that makes this site popular and some people addicted. I am sure that once you get used to this site you will also like it. Have a nice day!

At first, I didn`t want to join FB, but later, I joined as I saw all of my old friends, from childhood, elementary to university, and even all my cousins from my dad`s side, join FB. I met my cousin in Sydney from FB.FB is popular because it connects you with families, friends, you can search them, participate in discussion, and even sell your products/promote your business. However, FB also has negative sides. People may give comment about anything, and many young girls easily meet someone they know from FB, without thinking about next consequences. There are some girls who ran away with their FB friends several weeks ago. FB is good, it depends on how we use it and we must educate young generation how to use social networking site wisely. Me?I rarely open my FB, except to check message, friend request and some info about reunion etc.

Yea, I too think that facebook has some abuses as well. As you said, the young generation is driving to the wrong side by using facebook. Facebook should be used for minimum purpose. And even if someone is using facebook alot, they should not do such things that can lead them to certain consequences as you mentioned. Other than this, I too think that it is a good site to find our friends, families and be in touch with them. Anyways, Thanks for your response. Have a nice day!

I do have a Facebook account, but I (for some reason) still prefer Myspace and Mylot. It seems everybody is shifting away from Myspace though. I guess I only have a Facebook acct. because everybody else does. It seems that people you hardly knew or haven't seen in ages come out of the wood works on Facebook to be your friend! I guess it's really a popularity contest to see who can have the most friends. I would rather just use it to keep in touch with my closest friends than have everybody in the world know what I'm up to.

basically i get that what do you want to say the main thing that due to of it's application so called games like by gamer so much that they want to play it any cost and one thing is that it provide you a space for promoting your business.i hope you understand why Facebook is every where
