I Am A Facebook Addict

That shouldn’t really come as a surprise. It’s a good thing that much of my job already revolves around Facebook otherwise I would be in trouble. According to the Telegraph, over 70 percent of businesses in the U.K. have blocked Facebook from within their company. You know you are going to become a powerful brand when companies start banning you from the workplace. Could you imagine if they banned Google from work? That wouldn’t happen though since Google is where I find all my answers. Conversely, banning Facebook could become a problem if Facebook becomes my primary center of communication. A large percentage of my interactions already take place on Facebook now and I have a feeling that this will increase over the coming months. Om Malik suggests that all this Facebook interaction which has resulted in Facebook fatigue can be prevented.  By simply accepting friend requests from people that are in your cell phone, you can limit the amount of interaction on Facebook. I have to agree with Om but at this point my Facebook account has almost become as tainted as my email account. Perhaps it is time to heed Om’s advice and become more selective. How open are you in accepting friend requests?

I only accept friend requests from people i have actually met! (unlike MySpace.. where it was a race to get them numbers up)<br><br>I am a true evangelist of Facebook though, and constantly tell my Tech UN-savvy mates what they are missing out on! <br><br>I found a great link the other day, about having TWO fb profiles. One personal, and one professional. However, I just want FB to let me classify my friends better. And only open parts of the pages professionally, but let my close friends see more. I really think that they are working on something like this!
