Can you last a day without logging on your facebook account?

Facebook to me have been an everyday routine, since I use facebook to communicate with my fiancé so there's no way I can miss logging on my facebook account. Facebook mania really does a big impact to people's lifestyle, it can be obssesive. Well I'm not using facebook in an obssesive way but in a beneficial and convenient way to keep in touch with my loved ones. So I would say that I couldn't last a day without logging on my facebook account, it's just that I'm not using it to manipulate my lifestyle through it.

Definitely! In fact i have not opened my facebook for days and it didn't hurt me at all. I just don't like facebook anymore. i got too many friends there 98% i personally know but then i just don't like announcing to the world what i'm doing or even playing games there is not fun for me anymore. I have been using facebook for so many years and i guess i just got tired of it from last year.

Well for now I guess facebook is fun to me because the main reason is that I used it by communicating with my friends and my fiancé but I think that I will also get tired of it one day just like what we did with our myspace account we deleted it.

Hi. In your situation I can imagine how important Facebook is for you cause that is the main channel for you to keep in touch with your fiance. For me, I think I am ok for not logging into Facebook for a day. I am just using Facebook to check the recent updates on my friends and family. For communication purpose, I am still prefer using phone calls and SMS. Thanks.

You're so right about that. The main reason why I check facebook everyday is because of our constant communication with my fiance. So I can use facebook on my phone as well, so it's always on the go for me whenever I wanted to talk to my loved ones, as convenient as SMS.

I actually am logged in on Facebook even when I am not on the site, and like sleeping, at work etc. just like I am in myLot as I seldom ever shut down my Computer. But to actively post in there, etc. I do play a couple of games in there, and do some Networking for my Business, etc. so there is never a day I miss to not check something there but it would be no Big deal usually if I did not.

Whilst I could easily last more than a day without logging into my facebook account, as a business owner that is not a wise thing for me to do, as it is very good for networking and lots of businesses are in contact with other businesses sharing ideas. Whilst some may not be good, there are one or two that are worth looking at. _Derek

I have a facebook account but I don't login everyday, although I am online most often with my online earning sites. I only have few friends there and I don't usually give away my facebook account to anybody that's why. I am not like those young teens who are often online with fb from morning till night just commenting, uploading pictures and updating their status.

I can't last a day without logging in on Facebook. Just like you its been my daily routine.. I am online in Facebook all day long! I also don't use Facebook in obsessive way.. I use it to communicate with my friends and with my relatives who live so far away and to view pictures of my friends and classmates..

I feel you. I can't help it, it is my means of reaching out to people whom I'm been acquainted with. Fascinating when you get to see the people that you haven't seen in quite a while and you'll find them out on facebook just like my aunt who lived in the US for 40 years without coming home to the Philippines, so I'd say facebook had helped me reach out to people.

Yes I could, I could go on weeks without it. At times I'd only check on it if a friend says she sent me a message there, or if someone says I should check on it to see this or that photo of her, etc. I used to play games but I guess I just grew tired of it. Like you I also use it to communicate with faraway friends, but we don't have as much conversations now as we used to. Good day!

Yes. I can even end a week without it. I connect with most of my high school/college friends and even with my family abroad with facebook but it's not so important for me to log in everyday. When I'm on a vacation, i tend not to open any social networks that i have account with to enjoy my vacation more.

I definitely can last a day or two without facebook. Although I have a facebook account, but I rarely keep in touch with my friend though. I simply using it to occasionally contact my good friends, and post some photos for fun. Other than that, I might as well trying to make some extra money from other websites.

I am not much interested with Facebook anymore, I log in there once in a while just to check if my mom sent me a message. I am keeping the account just for reasons to stay in touch with my classmates, friends and relatives. I was never addicted to it as well. MyLot got my addiction :).

Oh no that would be very difficult. I use facebook for my online and offline businesses. It's one of the effective marketing methods. I can sell to my friends and acquaintances better. You can provide a personal after sales service, too. And people like it and you can gain more trust in your line of business. Sometimes I wish I could just ignore it, but I can't. It's not just about making money but also getting connected with close friends. You can share your thoughts and feelings and help without having to spend much money to visit them.

Yup. I am guilty. facebook is part of my routine. Facebook is important for me to keep track of friends and family as well as promote my blogs. I check on my personal page, my blog page as well as update of my blogging group. So yes a day isn't complete without facebook.

I have went months without logging onto Facebook. It's just not as fun, now myspace on the other hand I remember going on that every single day. Right now I'm not using any social networks site I rather do sites like mylots, and earn moneying doing the same exact thing I would be doing on Facebook or myspace. When myspace first came out I was an addict I was on almost 24/7 with a couple hours of sleep and going to school, Facebook I joined real late, I quit myspace for like 3 years came back to find out everyone moved to Facebook so I joined that to keep in touch with friends but it got boring after awhile, and I have quit 3 times already.

Of course I can! I have other activities to perform throughout the days. I'm usually too busy to take time to check my facebook page. I rely on notices from their site letting me know that someone has written on my page.

I can survive without logging in every day. It's cool to go on but I'm busy with school and facebook is something extra. I spent hours on it last night chatting with one of my friends. I like that I can talk to old classmates on there. I'm not obsessive about it however and normally only log in when I get an email about something. Then I normally stay on for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Only if I'm talking to someone will I stay on for a long time. I also don't play the games anymore. I used to be really into prolific and had a great score, but without maintenance it has decreased again. I no longer can wile away my days playing facebook games. Alas!
