Hey guys...
Well, I consider myself in the middle as i don't activate my status every single second..Well, I do check my facebook page every morning sometimes to check if there is any messages or notifications but I very seldom stay there for the whole day..I get bored quite easily!! probably coz i'm quite busy or i don wanna show up regularly..I don' have a specific reason...
what about you?

I was addicted before, but not anymore! When I first join Facebook, I was totally hooked. I coldn't get my eyes away from Facebook and I kept loging in every now and then just to check whether there were any new comments posted. My Facebook addiction made me lost focus on my work hence I tended to procrastinate a lot in completing my job. Nevertheless, this came to an end about two months ago after I got really fed up with my addiction and quit cold turkey! It works! However, i still log into my Facebook account everyday just to check on how my family and friends are doing, but not as often as before.

No, I'm not addicted to facebook. I've been a member for the past 2 years or so and I haven't bothered to update my status even once on there! LOL I have tried playing a few games, but none of the ones that are supposedly addicting that most others play. However, that was a while ago. I do log in more now than I used to, but it's mostly to see what my friends and family are up to. As for staying logged in, I usually log out a few minutes after I log in...that is, if I don't forget to log out. As I usually have several tabs and windows open at once I sometimes stay logged in there longer than I intend to. LOL
So, as you can see, I'm not addicted to facebook. Nosey maybe. LOL But addicted? No way! LOL
Happy mylotting!

I'm right there with you. The only reason I check it though is because I have many friends I went to school with on there and it's good to know what they are up to. It's awesome when you hear of someone graduating that you might not other wise hear about if you weren't on face book.

I check it sometimes since most of my friends are using it but I could say that I'm not addicted to it. I even rarely play the games on it like Vampire Wars, Farmville, etc. As for my primary pic and status, I don't always update/change it every now and then co'z I find it non-sense to always tell to the world what you are doing :)

Hi Smiley, at this moment in time I have three tabs open, Facebook, my email and myLot, I play scrabble on FB and countrylife and in the morning I will go in and maybe update status and see what everyone is up to so even logged in not on so to speak but I must admit it can be quite addictive.

I am addicted to playing Mafia Wars in facebook. I'm also having fun viewing my friends' profiles and communicating with them, especially those whom I haven't spent much time with, as well as for my long lost friends. What's so special about facebook is it keeps me alive, everyday is like spending hours and hours with my computer just to keep me updated with the new infos added in facebook.

I barely log onto face book at any given time. Unlike others who pratically live on the site, I'm proud to say I'm not one of them. I only have my facebook connected through Aim.
Now, if you saw my wall you might think differently, but generally my "status" changes when I "like" a video on youtube, or update my status on Aim, or any other social networking website. I have facebook connected through various venus and when I do things there, my status changes.

Hello smiley83,
I seem to be getting into the habit now of checking my Facebook page everyday, so maybe I am becoming an addict. I dont update my status very often, I just like to see if there are any new messages waiting, (there never is, poor me :( ). I also play the games more than I should, it passes the time.
So if you put the 2 together then I guess I am a Facebook addict. Oh no !!!
Dont tell anyone

Hello. I'm not really much into facebook anymore. I used to log on to facebook and stay there for hours because I love playing farmville. But now, I got bored with it since it's like a routine. I log on every night after work in facebook to check for any messages or notifications but I log out after a few minutes.

I love Facebook but I don't think I'd consider myself addicted. I could live without it if I had to. I just really enjoy the site though because it allows me to do so many things all in once place. My favorite part about Facebook is that it allows me to keep in touch with family and friends that I wouldn't as easily be able to keep in touch with. I also really enjoy talking with others on groups that I am a part of. There are fun games on Facebook too, which I sometimes take advantage of! Facebook is a great site. I wouldn't want to live without it, but if I had to I could.

I was addicted to facebook since last year and it was because I used to play all the games or wordings there and used to challenge friends so it had become my sole place to be but now with time I rarely go there because the game has gone and I am here most of the time.

I am not really active in facebook, just log in daily to see what my friends are up to. Since most of my friends are scattered all across the face of the earth, its really nice chatting with them and see how they are. We all got split up after highschool and some after college. I also found some of my friends from primary school which was a really good surprise!

I hope i wont get hooked on facebook but I opened it everyday same time I open my email and other money earning sites. I just keep the tab open especially the chat dialog so whenever a friend needs to talk they can just buzz me in. I merely use it for chat and games.
