How many of you are members of facebook? I've been a member for quite a while now, and I have to say that for the past week or so, I'm actually addicted to the site. =D I expect that the reason for that is because I've just moved away from my boarding school, so it's one of the best ways to keep in touch with everyone, but . . . . to be honest, the site's awesome. =D
So, if you've got facebook yourself, are you addicted? Becoming addicted? or rarely use it?
Also, if you don't have facebook, any explanation as to why? :p

I have a Facebook account. xD Dunno when I got one, but it was peer pressure, hahah. Um. I use it a lot when I really have to do something else -- like study. Sometimes I check it when I get an email notification that someone messaged me or invited me to something. Otherwise, I barely use it at all.

I'm addicted to Facebook. I especially like seeing when people change their statuses from "In a Relationship" to "Single" and vice versa. It's very exciting. And reading people's statuses. And looking at random people's pictures of crazy parties. :) It's fuuun.

I'm one of the rare people who doesn't have the Facebook account, nor wants it. Something about sites like those never appealed to me.

I'm on Facebook, but I pretty much only joined to play Scrabble >.>
Lately, I have run across some people I used to know and been chatting a little, but I don't spend a whole lot of time on there.

I'm on LiveJournal, but people are trying to persuade me to get a Facebook account. Like vision_afar, I neither have one nor want one; I spend far too much time online as it is!

I have a Facebook account but I mostly use it to keep in touch with peopleI haven't seen or spoken to in a while. other than that, I find it fairly useless.

I've been on Facebook since the days when you had to be invited, LOL. So like, 3 years? It's become so lame since then with all the pointless applications and crap.

Don't have it, doubt I'll ever get it. I have too many things like that already and the only ones I actually use is LJ and sometimes Goodreads, other than that most of them are just gathering dust.
Besides, all the friends I have an actual interest of keeping up with have MSN and LJ anyhow, I think only one of my close friends have Facebook so I don't really have a need of it anyhow *Shrug* Each to their own.
Also, in my class, people have started to not want to hang around each other because they aren't friends on Facebook and such, or aren't part of particular group there and other silliness.

I'm not exactly addicted, but I really need it, because I just switched schools and got a new phone, so none of my friends from my old school know my new number. But I am on it a little too much...if I don't cut back, I'll probably get addicted.

I'm with vision_afar. Those kinda sites never interested me for some reason.

I have a facebook too. I didn't use it for a long time but then I got the hang of it and found it fun. But then in came the new facebook. Good god I hate it! I want the old version back! The new layout makes me mad!

I have Facebook. It was fun at first, i started seeing all these people that I knew from a while ago. I've never been much of a social person, so it works.
Then I started getting a lot of applications and my like of Facebook started to decline. Not because the applications are not good, but that many of them seem the same and I don't like repetitiveness. I still check it though, just not as often. Often means I check it once a day instead of 4 times a day. :sweat:

I have a facebook account... so does my mother, my grandmother and my aunt. It's actually really strange. I'm not really addicted to it though. I go through phases where I'll just send a bunch of flair or something but nothing major.

I have a facebook account, though I don't really use it very often. It's a nice thing for communicating with friends, and not as gaudy as Myspace.

Facebook: check
Addiction: check
Basically, I was addicted the minute I registered, which was actually before a lot of other people. i was forced to get rid of my old account due to a certain immature ex boyfriend but I made a new one immediately and ahh! I'm one of those pains who doesn't ever accept any app invites and I have blocked most apps where I get multiple invites.
