Are you below 40 and does not have a Facebook account?
Ok... now, who do you think you are? Tarzan? I bet even Tarzans these days have accounts on Facebook, ok?
Last week in the news, according to a study, the Malaysians are the most sociable, as they have the most friends in social networking website, like Facebook, in average 233 friends. So, guys, if you have below 233 then you are below average, please work harder. And believe it or not, the Malaysians also spend a whopping 9 hours per week on average on these kind of websites! (As some you may not know, Facebook is the official website for the Malaysians, please take note that).
To me networking is one of the most powerful tool these days, the more you know people, the easier your life would be (with a condition you are not that annoying). With many helps from the new and interesting applications created by Facebook, we are tend to get into it for more entertainment and info. News now spread so fast. Even when 'some' people's little minor issues are told to world through it in seconds.
"sedihnya"... Ok, u put this on your status, now the whole world know you're feeling down. And if you're lucky enough, then people would give some attention and comforting, and if not, you're ignored, which will make you even worse. LoL. Photos of you 'tergedik' sana sini pun ada, and let say 10 years from now, maybe you're a minister, or any other important person, the people will have the chance to see how your private life is or was, is it weird to see your minister's photo yang tergedik sana sini? Then if you're not an attention seeker, please don't do that...
Ok, what's the point is, Facebook could be a really good thing. But even if you're the most sociable country, the productivity and the quality of the service is still the most important ones. What's the point of working 8 hours a day, when half of it you're spending it on Facebook?

agree with you on some points.
regarding the 233 friends, i think that's pretty high. from facebook's stats, the average user has 130 friends. the 233 might be true for malaysians.
but in some cases, we are not making friends by only saying 'hi'. and i don't really think we need hundreds of people in our friends list if half of them are people we don't really know about or someone that we barely talked to. for me i'm not really comfortable accepting strangers' requests even their intention is to make new friends.
myspace might be different because more people means more cool for them but not on facebook.
just my thought anyway..
ps: those applications like farmville, mafiawars, ect, are not created by facebook.
i can't really imagine having hundreds of friends in fb when 1/2 of them are someone you barely know. but again, the purposes can be too many, so who knows why.
i got 37 friends in my list so far. at times when all 37 are busy and not updating, my wall didn't move i still can see my friend who updated her status a day before.
yerp, i agree.
we do not need stangers in the list, we're not celebrity that everyone wants to know what is happening around us.
but i have 513 friends in my list now, i guess i never add those whom i didn't know... where did those people came from? lol.
seriously mafiawar and farmville not created by fb? i tot fb has its own game designer so that people will get attached to the network...
facebook allows other developers to build and integrate their apps on facebook platform. anybody can create their own apps on facebook.
those farmville and mafiawars are from zynga.
wohoo, thanks for the info bro.
