Addiction at Its Best

I am addicted, I cannot stop it, I must, must, must get more...I usually avoid hypes or at least until they are no longer hyper. This time I feel flat for something called Facebook. It is a social networking site, a bit like MySpace but miles cooler. There are two things that make me hate MySpace more than the plague and that is the fact that people tend to have background music and the web site design is like a drawing by a five year old.

Facebook allows you to hook up with other friends all over the world that also have a profile. It is quite nice to get in contact with people you haven't talked to for year. It allows you to send quick messages, see what they are interested in, upload pictures and tag your friends in them, and get an overview over activtities of your friends. It didn't sound overly exciting in the beginning but within weeks I was a Facebook junkie.

So why would you want to sign up for Facebook? Here are few advertising lines Facebook could use...

* Get the scoop on who is single and who just broke up...

* Breaking up has never been easier than with Facebook. One click on a link and you have cancelled your relationship. Could it be easier?

* Post embarrassing pictures of your friends and tag them so all of his/her friends will see it....

In any case, old friends sign up, Facebook is the happening place!

I am an Icelandic mediumgeek who lives in Oslo, Norway. I work at Opera Software trying to make their products easier to use. I like reading and traveling most of all but there are many other things I like sticking my nose into. I have secret liking for getting upset about religious and political matters. Those are topics you are likely to find some entries about on my blog in between other things that happen to interest me then and there. Please note that the opinions here are my own and have nothing to do with my employer, family, or friends.
