according to me, why facebook is so famous in our country, it was caused by several factors. here are the several factors
1. facebook understand the human need.. one of the basic need of human is always connected with somebody else..we need it, and facebook answer our wish..we can ask our friend in real time, and send message them..you can imagine the different ways between facebook and friendster..friendster need several days for accepting or rejecting the other testimonials..but in facebook, it`s real time..
2. many telecommunication provider make special card for facebook with special price...and its only done for facebook..
3. facebook had a mobile version..so many people can still be conecting with facebook by using their cellphone..they can surf facebook even they are in journey..
it`s amazing..right? what about another site?? some of them had no mobile version..

i think if only facebook understand the human need, i disagree.
why?? because the social networking is not facebook..indonesian people had make too indonesian facebook like Kombes and so on, but only facebook is so famous..what do you think about it?
the second things, is yes, i agree that several telecommunication provider provide special card like Telkomsel flash, Xl and so on..but it`s not only facebook..they support too twitter..but why twitter is not famous in our country??
the third is not only facebook had mobile version..many site had mobile version
but why only facebook is so famous and popular?

my opinion about the secret facebook in our country because facebook is a great place and tool for sharing our problems, our heart voice with somebody else and for me, it`s my hobbies..
i mean my hobbies is sharing what my feeling and i want my friend know my current feeling...
with facebook, i get several new friends and iam happy because of it..
but we must be careful from the misusing of Facebook..because facebook had many bad effect too for the user..

Hi adhyz: Well I don't know exactly how the situation is in your country but right here Facebook is also the most popular social network. I think it's because it has the market since years. People who has a Facebook account with their information, their friend list, their pictures, etc won't feel interested about opening account somewhere else and start everything once again. At the same time being popular, you invite your friends that haven't created their accounts to join Facebook and this makes it look cooler, the snowball effect. And finally, Facebook is easy to use for beginners.

so its same with our country..i predict 1/3 from my country population had facebook..it will influence some of us, when the news (maybe or rumour) facebook will be closed by the government, maybe..
and of course facebook themself realize that indonesia is the second biggest user and they always think indonesia is so important for their market

cool, narcisist and like button,
It is cool to have facebook at least for few years a go not these days because today all people have facebook.
People can upload their pic to make them like an artist and i think many indonesian people like to become narcisist hehe
and then like button can you imagine how come FB without like button, And how you feel when you get many likes from your friend.
and fortune for fb user there is no unlike button

I think it's because Facebook is addictive.
The feature it has, can make people wants to go back and check their updates, photos, new comments, and everything. People also love to be up-to-date and didn't want to be behind the news.
In Indonesia, Facebook campaign also 'supported' by our telecommunications providers. They offer a special data package for users so they can use Facebook easily from their hands practically in everywhere. I don't know with the other countries, is it the same or not? I'd like to know if i could.

@earlhy: i try to set a time slot, how many times i'm permitted in Facebook. For example, take 10 to 30 minutes. If the time's up, then i must leave it immediately.
But for now, i have become bore with Facebook, so practically, i myself don't spend a lot of time there :D
@adhyz: nope, i'm not. see my answer for earlhy above. And yes, this means i had facebook account :)

When we are talking about facebook, it means we are talking about the world. Facebook has stunned the world including Indonesia. Its easy-to-use features have made many people love using it either for business or personal communications. I don't think there is a recipe in order to be well accepted.

Facebook is worldwide used, not only Indonesia. If we are talking about facebook users, we are also talking about the global users.

NO matter what sites we are in, other than USA, the next country with largest number of members will always be PHilippines. IT's something that's there and i don't know why. IT's the same for mylot, friendster, myspace and many others before that. Somehow, they are able to link up well and always seems to get first hand information about such trends. I really admire them for their passion and efficiency to get the whole country to stand together in short period of time.

I think because the people of Indonesia has made facebook as a way of life, and almost all operators in Indonesia provides free access to Facebook, plus again there are expressions of the people if you do not have Facebook, you are outdated and do not follow trends, so people make Facebook so that they look cool!!
