I’m stunned that someone spent time and money coming up with an index for Facebook addiction – not because Facebook can’t be a problem, but because the signs see a little obvious – but the University of Bergen came up with a scale, which consists of giving a score to each of these six attributes from 1 (very rarely) to 5 (very often):
You spend a lot of time thinking about Facebook or plan use of Facebook
You feel an urge to use Facebook more and more
You use Facebook in order to forget about personal problems
You have tried to cut down on the use of Facebook without success
You become restless or troubled if you are prohibited from using Facebook
You use Facebook so much that it has had a negative impact on your job/studies.
If you score four or more of those with a four or five, it might be time to turn the computer off.

Nope had an account once for a week. Thats it. It is stupid!
I did the same thing Burnie….right after I joined I found it was stupid and never went back……I’d rather see what Burnie Mak has to say in this liberal rag……
HAHA! If i wanted to go back to high school again (facebook) I would join 21 Jumpstreet
Ha I never joined so I got one up on both of you.
Bob – you are obsessed with the liberal rag tho its actually more creepy than facebooking – they at least perceive themselves as partaking in a positive connection building activity.
Well actually it shouldn’t be said I’m obsessed with it……its just that I enjoy reading what you guys have on your mind sangria…..I don’t want to partake in building anything except getting a good laugh from Burnie Mak and I don’t mind in the least hearing from you also…….
