Confessions of a facebook Junkie!

Ok, Ok. I know my lack of entries during the last couple of months has been blamed to me being busy. Which is true, I have never been more swamped with work than I have been lately. I’m still pursing my education and also trying to have some type of social life. However with that said, I do have a confession to make. I’ve been addicted to a social network site, which I seem to have time for every day…
It’s not MySpace.com or Friendster.com, or hi5, or even the original social networks like AsianAvenue.com, BlackPalnet.com or Migente.com. It’s the fastest growing social network today. Yes, facebook. :S. I was never really into Social networks. Normally I would create profiles just to see what the big fuss was about and usually I would abandon them for a while. But this facebook thing is different from the rest. It’s much more personal with great security and privacy features.
You can choose who is able to view your profile and even control the details of what they can see. Live news feed as your home page is great. It gives you news on the latest actives of your friends, colleges and family.
However, as facebook continues to grow, so does its features. Recently they allowed various types of applications that you can add on your profile page. Applications such as horoscope, maps, Paint, music/movie play list and much more can be added on your page. I’m not a big fan of this because in time, facebook profiles will be similar to those of MySpace. It will be filled with so much crap that it hurts the eyes to even give it a page impression.
Overall I give facebook two thumbs up for now! It’s a great way to keep in touch with past classmates, colleagues and family members. It also has some great features such as Market Place where you can advertise, whether you are buying, selling, giving or looking.
*I am not a facebook junkie. Trust me I’m beginning to lose interest. ;-)…… Ok, alright. Not just yet.
