Facebook, You’re Almost as Addictive as Coffee to Me.
It’s no secret, folks, I am a huge Facebook creeper. Sadly, one of the first things I do, before I even fully get out of bed is to grab my iPod touch off the nightstand, slide the unlock slider, tap Mail, then tap on my convenient Facebook icon on my home screen.
I can’t explain my addiction, but I just love knowing what’s going on with people I know. Honestly, Facebook has kept me in touch with many people from ym past who would otherwise be a faint memory by now. Who needs a 10-year high school reunion when you have Facebook everyday?
Also, I must say, I love that many of my friends use Facebook to communicate with me rather than instant messenger. Mainly, I have that sentiment because the instant messenger that most of my friends use in Microsoft’s very Mac-unfriendly messenger. If the majority of my friends used AIM or Skype, I’d be happy to use IM more, because there are great mac clients out there.
However, one caveat of Facebook is the apps. I loathe the apps. I loathe the many requests for Warbook and Triumph that I get (Yes, I have marked them as spam now and no longer receive those). I do have a couple apps, but the ones I have require little to no daily attention from me. I don’t want to play scrabble for you, I just want to read you wall and flip through your pictures and wish you a happy birthday.
Oh! And isn’t Facebook great for reminding you about birthdays! I love it!
Ok, I think I am done now. I was just thinking about how I love Facebook (mostly) and also remembered I needed to write a blog article. So there. Happy? Good.
