What is the first thing you do when you switch on your laptop?
I login to my facebook account!!
Am i addicted??
Well, maybe!
I have been on facebook since 4-5 years and I have lived and breathed on Facebook.
From uploading photos and following random people to playing games and “liking” Chocolate Brownies, I have done it all.
There was a time when I would post 3-4 status a day. From "Surbhi Jain is worried about the results" to "Surbhi Jain is on cloud 9!! woopie...." I shared my life on facebook. And even though it seemed to some of my friends that I had no qualms about sharing “everything” on Facebook, what they didn’t know was that they were part of a selected list that had access to “everything.”.
Yes, You have to have robust privacy settings once you are at a social networking site.
It sometimes occured to me that why not just e-mail photos to those I wanted to share them with? Because not everyone who was my Facebook friend was in my address book. And everyone was on Facebook!
While I enjoyed interacting with these folks on the social media platform, I didn’t have their e-mail address or phone numbers stored anywhere. Facebook made it easy for me— it reminded me of birthdays, let me drop them messages, reminded me of the events taking place, allowed me to chat with them.
How do I get in touch with them when Facebook dies?

Through phone calls, emails. Gone are those days when people would make the effort to meet up! When you find a replacement let me know!
Well, thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook is a giant and it's nowhere near dying yet!
Nothing is irreplaceable :)

It ain't dying in near future! And by the way, if you do find a replacement, let us know, too! ;)
Am more addicted to my blog.
@Savira @Rainboy @Arjit I will try and come up with one soon
@D2 I hope it doesn't die :)
@Purba blogging is so much more than addiction to me!! It has now become my necessity.
This addiction almost made me fail my second semester exams. I have written a post on the night before the chemistry exam, when the apparition of the FB wall page made me go against my better judgement, and got me screwed!!

your sun sign says a lot about you as a person..
@Sourabh I think almost everyone on facebook gets addicted to it once in a lifetime and then get screwed ;)
@Anonyous: ???
Well, I was thinking about this one, I keep wondering what if the FB crashes one day. I hope they have their systems and stuff straight because if they don't, I'll be losing touch with a lot of my school pals from all over India whom I couldn't even think of being in touch with again, when I left their cities.
@Nehha same here! Facebook has become an eternal part of lives! I hope they have ample backups to save it from crashing ;)
