Facebook Question of the Week
By John | September 29, 2008
Why isn’t everyone on Facebook?
Seriously? Why doesn’t everyone who can use a computer have a Facebook profile?
It’s got a simple interface, clean design, and a killer concept: ‘be friends with people’. For people who are extroverts, Facebook becomes yet another tool to feed the addiction: you can chat live, post tons of pictures of all the cool stuff you do, and have a contest to see how many friends you can ‘friend’ (a new verb inspired by Facebook). For introverts it provides a non-threatening, passive way to communicate through the news-feed, status updates, comments, etc…
If it wasn’t for Facebook, I would never have had time to keep in touch with 90% of people who are my Facebook friends. That alone makes it worthwhile.
Do you love Facebook?

For me, I noticed when MySpace first came out that I could spend all day on MySpace so I seriously backed off the social networking thing just for the sake of time. Of course, Facebook is different, as it’s not so much about strangers and meeting people, but connecting with people you’re already linked to. At the same time, I could easily spend all day on those connections.
How do you develop a healthy balance this way? That’s my question. Maybe it’s something I’ll have to take on while reconfiguring my life.
