Lucky me, when i comparing myself to seven point of FB Addicted indicator, i find i’m not like that. Well, Facebook is surely help me to connect with old friend, make chat with them, use it for supporting my business, but i’m not make it as a “KING”.
I’m concerned also about this matter, there is many people addicted to facebook and Do a compulsive usage. Hope their can aware that their have another world.
I love Facebook applications like farmtown. I meet new friends in games and express my arts through customizing my farm land. hehehe…
I can also promote my blog in games that’s why I love facebook.
I don’t think there were bloggers who teach how to use facebook to gather traffic on a step by step process.
I didn’t tried the ” farmtown “. not interested in online games.
I got addicted to Farmtown too for a couple of months but its really time consuming so I set aside for now (been more than a month since the last time I’ve logged in to Farmtown.
I more reason you are addicted to Facebook..
You fall in love with someone in Facebook and you be a stalker just to know what she or he is doing..hahaha
That’s should be one unique factor. I bet is it your experience

But stalking via Facebook is not gentle at all haha…
Yeah..it is my experience..hahaha..long time ago..being a secret admire only..although every weekend I met her
Wow! Go for it Een. Atleast you always meet here every weekend in person and not just online.
I am surely was addicted to Facebook when Do my facebook naruto wars game adventures.
I never know Facebook has naruto wars game..How was is it?
It is a good game because you Do not need to think while play it.
Is this true? FB has Naruto Wars?
Naruto wars? Or Ninja Saga? I play farmtown…
Anyway, Facebook became popular because of it’s great application features.
That’s why people will keep on visiting their site.
They rank #2 in alexa ranking while Youtube became the #4.
There’s Naruto Wars in Facebook? I didn;t know that.
When I started Facebook first, I use to play games, Do quizzes. It was addictive but I left them and I use Facebook quite well.
And I am not addicted to it.
Ah, i remember in the first i’m addicted to it quizz and app collection such :
- Who has the biggest brain?
- Typing maniac
But know, i’m use it only for share information. Sometime i’m still fill the quizz and play app but not too often like in the past.
I Do not use any of these application anymore. Its just waste of time.
Sometimes, it helps me because, FB can remind me the birthdates of my friends. SO I’ll be able to greet them on time as if I really remember their exact birthdays.
Usually I play Mafia Wars in Facebook and check out cool videos and see what my friends been up to.
Mafia wars and farmville surely addictive game. My friend spend a lot of time just to play it. Be careful,ZXT, your time is so precious
I never play any games at Facebook..I’m always watching my friends play it especially farmville..they got addicted to it..every second they talk about it, play about it..luckily they are not blogger like me..otherwise they’re gone..
Yes I believe you are right, we bloggers doesn’t have much free time on the internet because we must spend our online time wisely improving out blog or visiting other blogs.
But sometimes it is nice to get away from blogs and have a break.
Yes since I began blogging I never played Farmtown yet but I used to play Garmtown a lot, now only Mafia wars. But you are right, its vey time consuming.
How about Farm Town, Fish World? Are you also addicted to them?
I used to play Farmtown but haven’t got time lately (like more than a month)
Mafia Wars and Farmtown are the only gmaes I play on Facebook.
Ha.. I am not addicted then ,any point does not holds to me:)
You should try playing some od the quizzes and applications there…Then only you can know how addicted you are..
Don’t advice them to Do it because it will make him become addictive to Facebook. It’s better to commenting in this blog and read for the article here, because it’s more usefull than facebook.
Only if you have a lot of free time, feel free to do “facebook-ing”
I’m not advising him but I’m giving him suggestion so that he can challenge himself either he will addict or not..
lol, I was ‘addicted’ to Facebook poker for a period of time. Man, I think if I went on it again, I’d become addicted again, even though you’re playing for invisible money, lol.
Anyway, be careful, addicted to Facebook is also make us blogging activity disturbed and in the end, our productivity is decreased.
Did you find a case there is a blogger which have their blog not updated frequesntly like in the past? It maybe because facebook. And some my blogger friend agreeing about it.
Agree with you..we must have specific time..when to social, when to blog seriously…must be discipline!
Anyway..add me @Facebook http://www.facebook.com/eenrockstar
Ok i’ll add it.
Time management is a key, there is reality and virtual world. In some case, worst reality make people running away and go for virtual world. It’s so bad and i’m concerned about it.
Anyway my main activity today is open Facebook. But, it’s not because addictive…It’s because today is my brithday and i’m sure there is many message in my wall
What about you? Are you not blogging because you got addicted to Facebook or something else.

I am more addicted to checking google Adsense earnings than Facebook.
How often you check google Adsense??? You must be addicted to adsense..
..did your earning increase everytime you check?
Continuelsy checking will not increase your earnings.
It’s better than addicted to Facebook, because Adsense is related to your business.
Hmm but i wonder why you’re so addictive with checking google adsense earning, maybe it’s because you’re already success with it?
Addicted to Adsense? lol, it’s good to see your ambition, but how often does that thing even update?
Is it a good habit to check Adsense earnings Continuously ?. I limit it once in a day.
I’m no way a Facebook addict, i’m actually hardly on facebook.

Nice article. Well I am not so addicted on Facebook. I much busy on Twitter for get traffic and monetize my blog.
What is your twitter id ?, Checked your blog.
Do you get good results from Twitter? How many visits you get from Twitter in a day?
Hi Lax. I think I’m definitely guilty of spending too much time on Facebook. Twitter even more-so perhaps. You go on them for a good purpose at first, and then you find yourself drifting, and visiting tons of new pages.
It happens to me sometimes, most especially If I don’t like the task that I’m assigned to Do.
lol, yes, like me. I’m probably the king of procrastination.
Exactly whats happening for a lot of people including me.
Very good article. Now I know I’m not a Facebook addict. Hehehe.
Will you agree with me? Face book can be compared to “Online stalker”?
You could say that, although Myspace has more of a Reputation for that sort of thing.
Myspace, i have an account there, but not checking regularly.
Now i am a huge fan of Facebook, i am getting some click from facebook, created some groups, going well.
Dear bloggers make the use of facebook, you can easily get some clicks from it.
Do you have any tips on how to encourage people to become Facebook fans of your site? I find it much more difficult than Twitter.
I have created some groups, related to my blog content, posting relevant links and getting 10-25 clicks daily.
If you are interested in Facebook, if you have a WordPress blog, use the plugin ” wordbok”.
Make the use of ” NetworkedBlogs ” in Facebook.
You can also update your RSS-Feed to Facebook.
What else can you use for your Facebook account? Seem slike you know the ins and outs of Facebook.
Now a days I am going addicted on Facebook. I have put one widget on my blog to follow me on my facebook.
I play Mafia wars on Facebook and I’m level 512. Do you think I’m a Facebook/Mafia Wars addict?
