I didn’t think I would be addicted to Facebook until I registered myself with it a month ago. It is pretty addictive I tell you and I read in the papers recently that Facebook is a growing craze among users. What I personally like about Facebook is the applications they have and what I can do with them. Awesome! My favourite application is the ilike and the selection of gifts they have that you can give to your friends online. Oohhh and not to forget the yummylicious pictures of the ice cream selection. The ice cream pictures look almost real and pretty disturbing la. I stared at the ice cream and chocolate lists all day long yesterday (Since I was on leave and I had plenty of time to laze aroud!:D). Oooopss, looking at them is better than going to the nearest ice cream shop and feasting on them right? Hehehe!
However the setback of having an account with Facebook is bumping into people from the past who you have been avoiding. People who you intend to avoid forever (hehe) or somehow "vanished" from your life for many years. Long lost friends who had probably hurt your feelings or betrayed your friendship. So I guess being on Facebook has its advantages and disadvantages. It is up to us on how far we want to re-establish those long lost friendships that went haywire during those transitions etc. If we are uncomfortable with it, there is always the “private settings” application, hence to curb the unnecessary viewing by strangers or others.
So folks, have fun with Facebook! Those who have not registered…do give it a go!

Hi babe...
Dah lama tak masuk your blog ni :)
I used to be so addictive on Facebook but now dah boleh control sikit. Hehehe...
Anyway, I'm glad you're also my Facebook friend! Poke..Poke.. :p
Facebook...My Space, Friendster, and a whole lot more...I ignore them...dono why...maybe coz I dun wanna get addicted and I'm not looking for more friends , I guess, that won't materialise..my apologies to ardent fans out there...
Nour,
Some people you want to avoid in life - virtual or otherwise. :)
Maybe I should consider being 'Facebooked'.
Anyhow, you've been tagged. Please drop by my blog for details. Thanks!
Hello Nour,
Oh yes! I love facebook. I love it so much Nour, I was interviewed for it in TELL mag..ha ha! If you wanna have a peep it is the Nov-Dec issue on Tech Talk titled 'Are You on Facebook?' I have a feeling I am no longer at the dating age they must be amused with my being active on it..(Ketawa besar lah Nour).
I really do love it as it has the apps too.
I hooked up with a few people who could help me with my volunteer work even. How easy is that? Just a ping. Cheers.
Hello Ruby,
I should get a hold of that Tell magazine. You have been doing volunteering work even via facebook?? That is great Ruby!! You make us proud.
dnas,
I totally agree with you, whats the pointkan? We shld only add those who we truly believe are our friends :)
kawaii desu,
Yeah...so much fun...My fave is also the superlatives..:)It is nice to find true friends who you have lost touch for soo many years.
DG,

Aphroditekuuzzz,

trueblue,

I guess FB is just gonna be a phase...lama2 nanti boring. Biasalah when it is something new, semua nak try. BTW, have a good yr end vacation.
Heyya Feline,
Yeah I guess it doesnt appeal to everyone. Just how I was not soo into myspace, friendster etc.
Theta,
Yeah I tend to avoid people who I dont see being true or sincere friends. Pple who at one point might have hurt my feelings or betrayed my trust. Whats the point of rekindling the long lost friendship eh! Bridges have been burnt!
BTW, thanks for tagging me. I had fun:)
