Okay, so I got an email from Cha-Chi asking me to be his friend on Facebook. Though I've received a few other invitations over the years, I usually ignored them. But for some reason, I felt compelled and bored enough to log-in and accept him and a few others as friends.
Today, I was unexpectedly sucked into the world of Facebook. I spent over an hour updating my profile and seeking out high school buddies. And I still feel the need to enhance my profile and poke or email all my old chums. Gosh, Facebook is addictive
I joined MySpace a few years ago and rejoined it this year. So now, I have two entries on the site… I didn't find MySpace as addictive. It was fun to check out my friends' profiles and check up on classmates, but I didn't feel the need to fill my profile with a thousand details about my life like with Facebook. Weird, huh?
I've decided to go on a MySpace-Facebook diet before I become addict. I will allow myself no more than a few hours per month (total) on both sites. They are great way to stay connected with old friends—especially all those high school friends I only see once a year but still love and miss—but a major timesuck.
