Facebook Piles on the Guilt Before You Deactivate Your Account
While we have no plans of deactivating our own accounts, we hit up the page to see which of our friends appeared in the photos. Surprisingly, every photo was of us with a friend. It's likely the algorithm first chooses photos that have both you and your friends in them to deepen the emotional connection. Sneaky. We have to admit, tugging at our heart strings to keep us on the site is clever, and damned if we didn't feel a pang of guilt when their sad eyes stared accusingly at us for trying to leave.

Oh Boo Who Who -- I'm still broke up over quittin' Facebook. My wrinkle faced wife is all I have to look forward to now since I chopped off the B-9 mole on my 4-head and sprouted a few hairs on top my head...

janicesaves -- your post is low...fake critical comment of something that everyone who is a member enjoys doing...trying to grab attention so you can advertise your product. I hope everyone sees through your fake negativity.
Do what you enjoy! Who cares what others think of what you do, as long as it is what you enjoy doing and is not immoral!

Somebody please explain to how people find the time to post messages on Facebook, My Space and all the other text messages they send out every day ?????? I run an online business and I can barely keep up with taking care of my customer's orders, inventory, shipping, purchasing, etc., etc. Something is wrong in this country when people have so much free time to do nothing when we facing such challenges in this country and in our personal lives.

We can't sit around worrying ourselves to death of lifes problems - texting and emailing our friends is how we cope with whats going on. We shouldn't spend our life working and worrying - life is to be LIVED not frittered away by continually working and worrying.

It's about connecting with friends and family... It's called "life". What you need to consider is "balance". Try it, you may just like it! Perhaps then you wouldn't be so grumpy. Take this as advice. Social networking is 'real' and 'healthy'. If nothing else, remember this: "work to live.... don't live to work".

ohhh i'd love to comment, but aol doesn't like me, so they censor everything i say.... they hate different points of view. too bad... for someone who retired at 54, lives on the golf course in hawaii, and has travelled the world, you'd think they'd want to listen to a millionaires point of view

Tell me about it! My husband is obsessed w/ facebook. It drives me nuts. I clean, look after the kids, cook, etc... he sits on the couch and gets on facebook for hours!

Glad you are so busy! Take a break once in a while

in response to people asking where people find the time to go on myspace and send messages its easy. you turn on computer. log into myspace. then you write a message and send it. you know like when you sit on the computer log into aol and write comments.

Hope: I don't do a lot on facebook, but have run into a lot of classmates. You worry about your time, and I will worry about mine.
coojimJul 27th 2009 12:15AM
I totally agree.

I enjoy the interaction I get to have with so many friends and relatives in my life that I would not otherwise have time to call. Since we post an ocassional status update and share photos, we can stay connected with each other even when we live in different states! I generally just check my FaceBook account when I get an email notifying me that a friend has posted a comment to me, so it really doesn't take up a lot of extra time.

I'm hip, I know I'm working my ass off. I only get to be on Facebook once a week, and I have WAY too many messages and there mostly bullshit stuff. I just delete most of that. I think we need a vacation, you?
