Are you a facebooker?
Posted by Yassine on January 29, 2008
I’m a web 2.0 geek! Whenever I come across a new website, I subscribe to it and move their confirmation to my “SignUps” folder on my Yahoo! mailbox. So obessesed that I don’t wanna miss a thing. That results innot checking 80% of the sites I adhere to unless they trurn out to be “The Next Thing”.
I signed up with Facebook about a year ago and though i don’t regularly check it It’s “him” who checks me! As i was curious at the beginning, I installed some applications (including my blog feed), invited my freinds to join me, uploaded my pic and joined a couple of groups there. Not all my facebook friends are active, but I receive notifications about my friends making freinds online. That sounds like a “Spy Kids” game!
The striking thing is that relationships are differently shaped there; poking instead of whistling (alluding to the Moroccan wooing way “Fss fsss”) adding as a friend rather than inviting to a dinner or “clicking away the pain” instead of consoling. Watch the video below to learn how facebookers spend their day !
Enjoy!

I guess it does limit human interaction but I’m not sure how much people seek human interaction anymore. I lived in the San Francisco area (Berkeley and Oakland) for about 6 years and I rarely met any of my neighbors at 6 different apartments. Don’t get me wrong, I would much rather talk to someone on the phone than IM them or send them a message on myspace, but at least these methods allow you to stay in touch when you might not otherwise have the time or $.

Thanks. Making new friends and linking to new identities are useful in many ways. I think, like me, there is not enough time to spend in these activities. I work for 8 hours, then regular classes at college for 4 hours, 5-6 hours to take a nap . Only 6 hours for other activities including traiviling inside city. I also meet my friend through mails, texts and calls.

I can’t stand facebook, undeserved big fuzz with silly features. I was forced to create an account that I barley visit or update. I’m all about myspace.com. join me there

I have tried both websites and find FaceBook much more advanced and better more suitable for me than MySapce. Here is a list of “10 Things I hate about MySapace“.
