Facebook..addictive?

We had friendster,myspace,orkut now there is facebook. Ive had accounts in pretty much all of them but its long gone now. Facebook has been the in thing since it made its appearance sometime ago. At first i found it rather clutter! Too many application and just too much to handle. Then when i actually setup my facebook account i thought it was brilliant!

My favourite part is the fact that you need to use your real name, your school/work info has to be accurate.This truly gives the word networking a real meaning. The groups and pages is another awesome feature as it gives members to join little communities of like minded people.Friends from school who your lost contact with, colleagues your haven’t met in ages suddenly start re-appearing, together with that you meet people you never want to meet,but there is a ban button for that :P

I personally am in a few of them and its awesome!! Facebook is also gone soo mainstream that politicians,artist and even sports people are on it now. It gives them another avenue to be with their fans/supporters and well wishers.

Now is facebook addictive? Not for me it isn’t..How is it for you?

Now the bad part…is it addictive?

Facebook Chat in Firefox Sidebar

Like Google Talk, you can also run the Facebook Chat application from Firefox sidebar.

Now go to Organize -> New Bookmark and type the following address:

Also tick the check-box the says “Load this bookmark in the sidebar”. You may save this under “Bookmarks Toolbar” so you can open Facebook chat window in a single click.

You can do something similar in Opera – Press F4 to open the Opera sidebar and drag the above Facebook link onto that Opera Sidebar.

Remember this game?? Its back and its on Facebook!! When you see something that you used to play so frequently long time ago now..it gets me all excited :P This game evolves around you trying to gather weatlh by buying drugs and selling them. Its a business model that requires you to place your money when prices are low and cash in when there is a demand or price is high!
