Hi Mylotters, Facebook, one of the social networking sites that is very popular right now from every corners of the world. Even celebrities participate in this endeavor to socialize with people, share your thoughts and experiences on just about anything online instantly. It's amazing how fast and easy this this to communicate with friends and relatives wherever they are. But I know few people who needs to Facebook everyday as if they would die if they missed it or somehow, their day will be incomplete without Facebook. Are you one of these people? I'd appreciate your comments on this. Have good one ahead.

Hello good day!!! I have facebook account but I dont go there very often. In fact I can live my day without going to the facebook. Even if I have a game that I joined in Facebook I really dont care. I only go to facebook if I received a message from one that I know. If I need to accept someone. That is the only transaction I am doing in facebook. I no longer have time to browse and browse pictures. I spent my time more here on mylot. Than in facebook. Happy mylotting.

I played the farmville in Facebook at first I was very eager to plant and buy those crops and make it more beautiful just any other of my friends farmville. At first I envy them because they have very attractive farmville. But now who is earning more, yes true they have attractive farmville but are they earning there? Can they exchange it to dollars? hahaha. Thank you so much for responding.

Farmville is the game why i am always logging in in facebook everyday and i spend much time in playing games, and other application. Yes the earning coins in the games can't be change into real money, its just only for fun. Mylot is much worthy to spend time with. For earning purposes, for fun and learning new earning opportunities online, and having new friend online through this site.

True, that is why I no longer and would not spend time in farmville anymore. Not anymore that I already come to know mylot. I enjoy here and the time that I am spending here is much worthy than in the farmville.

Any means of expression can be good for the soul and fun. Facebook is yet another channel for interacting, shouting, playing and being creative.

Hi Npadecio, yes i can live a day or even a week and month not having facebook. But, i cannot live a day without opening and dropping some lines to mylot. i can always check facebook in my email. if there are new messages and comments i see it from there. so no need for me to check on my facebook account not unless i want to reply.

For me I need to open my account Facebook everyday or maybe about 12 hours ago coz I'm checking some of my friends and their messages. I also need to send important messages to someone and playing some games too...

Yes, I can live a day without Facebook and I have. I usually like to log in everyday so that I can get updates on my friends that I do not see everyday.

LOL! Usually I try to update every few days! There has been times that it have been a couple of weeks before an update from me. What is really bad is Myspace, my status on that is wishing everyone a happy new year! LOL!

I tend to go on Facebook from time to time, but I never feel that I have to be there everyday. I prefer to come to see what discussions are going on here at myLot. I certainly wouldn't "die" without coming on line, but I guess I would miss it. _Derek

Good point, dude! Mylot rocks! You will learn and realize stuff that you didn't give any attention before, it's just amazing that these ideas can be discussed here. And you get to be paid as well! :)

YEAH! I can live a day without facebook-ing. Last Holy Week, I really tried not to open my account. Facebook can really consume a lot of your time so I'm trying to avoid being too indulge with facebook so I can do other worthwhile things. Hehehe. :)

I think I can relate to that, prolly because I'm already addicted to it. The games, the chat feature, and wall posting, it's great. Even when I'm away from some of my friends, we never stop communicating the fun way - and all these are now possible through Facebook. Love it.

It has a friendly interface that is very easy to use most especially the wall features that easily detects new updates within your network. It has a great feature too with regard to adding "friends in common" because you will be able to locate long lost friends in an instant. :) If you think that's really helping you to communicate more often with your friends, then just go for it and be happy. :)

I could easily do without it. I was curious to try it and it is interesting to follow peoples antics but I think it is just another pastime that fills a lazy moment. If they decided to charge for it, I would delete myself from it in an instant. I prefer forums anyway,they are less judgmental in my opinion.
@npadecio (161)

That's good. Yeah and in forums, there are more learnings and interactions going on than FB. Thanks for dropping, pandaeyes.

I haven't been on FB for a couple of weeks, so I guess I'm not what you consider a FB addict. MyLot, on the other hand, I spend a tremendous amount of time; almost too much time. (Guess I ought to check my FB account...)

My day is not complete with opening my facebook account he he. Especially now that I've started finding my former friends and classmates, chatting with them and reading their posts & comments/messages is my daily dose of happiness.

I can definitely go the rest of my life with out facebooking. I have an account but I only go there to play games once in a while. I could do without it because I really don't like facebook. I think the only thing its good for is finding friends. However, I don't understand people writing everything from what they are doing at that very moment to writing about their personal stuff on there. Its just TMI for me.
@npadecio (161)

That's a good one, lelin. Yeah I agree with you, like you're somehow exposing your privacy through social networking by updating your status as often as possible. Thanks for your comment.

As long as I have something else to do like hang out with my cousin or sister or anything productive that would occupy my time. I admit that I am a Facebook addict--it's opened for the whole day unless my sister uses the computer.

I don't know , i have contact with my friends and they are in other places and it is pretty cool see what is happening in their lifes, with photos, videos and also comment about that , make you being part of their life even when u are very far away . I really love Facebook for that reason .
@npadecio (161)

18 Apr 10
Yes, I agree to this. In fact, it makes our world really closer that your friends, families and love ones are just a Facebook away. :)

yes i can. i am not really hooked to it lately but i admit it was the first site that i open when i go to the internet before but lately not anymore because it's getting boring and you wouldn't really get much out of it.
@npadecio (161)
• Philippines
13 Apr 10
Hi Caliya. That's also true, because I sometimes can't explain it why I would login even without anything to do. I don't know, I guess it's the feeling of just being connected. Thanks!

You have a good reason, noeraripin. If this is the way that you can have a consistent long distance communication with your girlfriend, I would simply agree to you. :)

I think that when people first start off on facebook they have like a facebook high lol. When I first started on it i was on it everyday but now, not so much. I was keeping busy on it with the apps but now im growing tired of them too. Actually its the same thing that happened for me with myspace but i definately prefer facebook now.
@npadecio (161)

Yeah and for some reason, these apps just draws your attention badly LOL! Definitely, for me, Facebook has been the friendliest and most usable social networking available on the planet. :)
