Are you as what mentioned above?

How frequent do you Facebook?

What do you love about Facebook?

Are you aware that you already obsessed with Facebook?

No idea?

Well, tonight we shall determine if you are a Facebook addict.

Ever since Facebook is launched, it has became the world famous social networking site. Indeed, it is a culture now, a trend. It's like everyone is Facebook-ing and is very rare to find that someone who doesn't has a Facebook account. Most of the people you know does Facebook right? You will considered uncool if you doesn't own one. As far as I know, there is no age limitation to Facebook. It can be your friends, colleagues, relatives, parents or even grandparents. It's just the matter of being an active or a passive user only.

Everyone is talking about Facebook EVERYWHERE! In fact, we are so familiar with Facebook that the term of "Facebook" itself has became a common word among us. So when you start Facebook-ing?
I started since years ago, hardly remember the exact year though. Back then, the popular social networking was Friendster. After Facebook is opened to the world, Friendster was abandoned behind. Most of my friends do have a Facebook account. I don't like being the one left out. So I created mine and my Friendster account is barely alive now.

How frequent do you Facebook? 3 times a week? 3 times a day? or 3 hours per day? For your information, I Facebook everyday. Yes, I love Facebook-ing. I love it until the extend that the first thing I do whenever I get excess to internet, is login into my Facebook account. Honestly, I don't have that kind of habit before I came to university. I don't even realize when has this started and I feel uneasy if I don't Facebook.

My university's friends are examples of active member. I guessed that's one of the reasons why I'm addicted to Facebook. Keeping track with friends is the most common thing to do in Facebook. You get to post your current status on Facebook and your friends can either comment about it or like it ( a link to click on LIKE). In a way of stalking on others, we called it. This is what I normally do. Don't you? Other than that, tagging photos is also a fun thing to do. You either get tagged in others' photo album or tag people in your photos. This make photos sharing easier without needing to transfer the photos to one another. Besides photos, video is available to tag too! I actually recorded a video of fireworks during New Year celebration and tagged each of my friends as a 2011 New Year present for them. Awesome right?

Applications such as games, giving gifts, greetings and many more attracted people to continue active in Facebook. I personally not a fan of those kind of applications. Basically, I just love to update my current status, keep track with my friends' status, exploring their photos and chatting with them. By doing this, I can stay on Facebook for hours.

I did my survey by posting a question on Facebook. This method is really effective, efficient and easy. I got my question answered in no time. You can see it through the time below each of the comments.

My question goes like this:

Hey peoples!!! I need every of your comments. Kindly leave one for me. I really appreciate if you do. Thanks!! =)
So,
Why do you Facebook?

‎1st : this is the current culture and being made as a culture. most of the people facebook without knowing any definite reasons and yet they still do it. :) its like peer pressure or social pressure that everyone SHOULD HAVE a facebook if otherwise considered uncool.
anyway, i Facebook cause wanna Kepochi... wanna know other people things and happenings and as a medium to market thoughts and connecting people.

Keeping up with the trend. People announce everything on facebook. assignment deadline, meeting, pen down their feelings etc etc.
And get connected with long lost friends.
Some ppl lazy to send you the pictures, so they use the "tagging" advantage.

So, do you login to your Facebook account right after you open your web browser? Do you Facebook AT LEAST 3 times a day?

If you do, congratulations! You are now officially a Facebook addict.
