A lot of people from many country on the world are using Facebook. Many companies and office are stop employees using Facebook. Do you think managers should trust employees to use time wisely?

I don't think I am an addict. I do keep mine on for a good portion of the day. But it is currently how my family keeps in touch. So while I am not looking at Facebook all day I can periodically check and see when someone (and they daily do) do leaves me a message. It's convenient! lol

i don;t think i am although sometimes i leave it open because i communicate with my friends through Facebook. yeah Facebook can keep people from doing what needs to be done. i think it is only okay to be on Facebook when you are at home or on break and not during office hours right?

I am a facebook addict but I can stop using it when I am in lectures because I can't get online. I think the companies should block facebook and other social networks or game sites so as to make workers work more efficiently as these sites have no direct benefit to the companies and is also a waste of company resources as both physical and human resources will not be used in an appropriate way if the workers focus too much on these sites during working hours.

Hello there. Facebook is the most common social networking site here in my country. I am not a facebook addict but it is one of the sites that I open upon opening my computer. Fcabook is where I update my friends and relatives status and activities. Some companies had blocked facebook in their computers in offices. In some way, I think this is right as employees tend to open their FB acoounts first before doing their jobs. Their wasting some minutes or office hours by doing this I believe

I've been an facebook addict once when I left mylot too for almost 3years, at the same time I have a business to ran too. I do lot of games and updating pictures all the time, and chatting with friends. That was facebook is newly introduce but later after all the games I played I get tired and fed up. After that I went to mylot again after realizing I lost 3 years of mylotting because of facebook.

I am not so interested in Facebook since there are many features available and I find it so confusing. But the big problem is this website is banned in my country. I need to take advantage of a software so that I can access to my Facebook account. However, not many people know how to do so. This is why I don't really have many friends there. And it leads that I am inactive in Facebook. Sometimes I login it just to finish some online earning tasks. I love China

I have a facebook account but I discipline myself on using facebook. At first, I admitted that I become addicted on it. It can take so much of my time because of looking how are my friends, looking on their photos, and playing its games. Then, I realized that it is not productive using facebook so much. Now, I just use facebook for few minutes. Sometimes, I just signed in there at facebook and just let it open for my friends to be able to chat with me once they come online. I do opened my facebook account for longer time sometimes and then just go on to another site to do my work. I just come to facebook once I heard someone sent me chat . I think it is okay to allow employee to use facebook as long as they know the right time when to use it.

I have an account on Facebook but I only visit it to look for updates on the status of my close friends, relatives and family. It's a faster way to communicate with them especially if your distant apart. Doing Facebook while at work or in the office is not advisable because it affects productivity of the employees.

Well, I may be consider a facebook addict because whenever am home and not working, I use facebook by playing games. I'm addicted to games. When I have no internet connection yet, I used to play computer games because I love playing even at my age.

I used to be addicted with Facebook. But as times goes by, the addiction started to diminish. Currently, I have not visited Facebook as often as before. In the workplace, I personally prefer not opening it even if there's a way I could browse it. It's not because I don't want to, it's just because I want to be more focused on my work and possibly excel in the field I am in. (,")

Well, talking about me personally, I confirm that I not in any way a Facebook addiction. I go on that site more than anything else, to play browser game 2 there present. However I know people (especially 2 people) who are on Facebook, which was one reason for their lives. My opinion on their actions, I find it wrong. Facebook, ok, virtual community and social network No. 1 in the world, I would call it very useful but absolutely essential NO. When you tap the point of those who use this site at work, well I would at this point, define they addict of Facebook, maybe even a little!

No I am not. Started once to play the games but my laptop can't do that anymore. Since most programms are getting bigger and my laptop can't load them I quit. It's useless for me to be there most of the time. Most friends I added because of the games and the ones I already knew I have contact with in an other way. So to be honest fb is just a big waste of time for me.
