Facebook

Facebook. Mention the word facebook and who doesn't knows what's a facebook these days? (except for my parents.They are ignorant on these things.) Before facebook, we have the friendster. Now, facebook has come to dominate the world with all its interesting applications and games (which i ignored most of the time, so, dun bother sending those to me). Apparently, the facebook is so great that we can even use it to search for friends which we thought have gone far away from this planet, though, i've nvr tried that out since i dun have much friends (all thanks to me being nerdy the whole time). Even my supervisors in Samsung Corning have facebook account, so, of course I myself has an account for it. I was first introduced to facebook by my friends, Nic and Fauz where i was reluctant to join at first. It was really confusing when i started using the facebook as we need to allow applications to be used in this social tool and writing on other ppl's wall as well as poking them. Poking? Seriously? I can nvr get over that. It's like we're able to feel the poking when some1 poked us. All these took a new turn when the applications like games are introduced into this social network, petsociety. I was told of this game by my friend Nic and Fauz eventually and as usual, I was not really keen on playing it. Then, for no reason, i started to get hooked on it when i was having my semester break during the last year and would play it whenever i'm on facebook. Now, i can officially say that i've completely abandoned the pet that i have over there. Apart from the pet society, there's new games out in town now and they are the barn buddy and the hotel city. It's really astounding as u actually have ppl waking up in the wee hours in the morning just to check up on the status of the games. Well, it looks like sleep is no longer important in our lives anymore. Then, came the revelation of my fren where he said he can't sleep without turning off his laptop. The reason being that he have to wake up in the night jus to check on his facebook profile. I wonder if they have any rehab for those that are addicted to facebook to the extreme level?
