Facebook now becomes a favorite website for the filipinos and maybe to the other countries. What do you think it makes them hook to it?

Well, people love to talk...about themselves and to respond to others. So the whole friend feed is the main attraction. Second, the way they integrate games is pretty awesome. I think a lot of people now a days go onto Facebook just to play their favorite game. My mom has joined just so she could compete with friends in Bejeweled. So I think the combination of having almost endless amounts of games to play, to be able to compete with friends in those games and not join any other website, and to socialize with friends is what makes it a thriving network.

First thing that makes facebook more addictive is because they are now accessible in your mobile phones meaning you can connect and chat with your friends with your phone using free access of any wifi spots. You don't need to have your own laptop or computers all you need is cellphone with wifi ready.

It is not Facebook alone that makes it popular the whole wide world but the side games that makes everybody addictive of Facebook - Farmville, Farmtown, Social City, and even Poker.

Some people love Facebook because they can easily connect with their loved ones and friends. They can also use it as an instant communication tool because they can see who is online at the time. Some like its clean, simple layout making it easy to navigate. Others, like me, love the games we can play in Facebook.
