(Some Guy) Interesting Is Facebook addictive? Of course not. That's just stupid... being addicted to a website. Like that could ever happen. Now, I have to go refresh TotalFARK a dozen times per minute to see if my latest submission was greenlit   (hlntv.com) divider line 34

I'm not even sure how you could get addicted to Facebook.

I could see get addicted to Fark. I disappear from here from time to time, so I'm sure I'm not. At least with Fark, you can actually learn things. Not so much with Facebook.

I don't know about that...

It will be required for many things and they will be too big too fail.

If you're constantly refreshing TF in mid-afternoon waiting for greenlights, you're doing it wrong. I think that's when Drew and the other mods are out for happy hour.

/there always seems to be a 3 or 4 hour period in the afternoon where the reds and greens just stop happening
 
2012-02-05 12:42:07 PM
germ78: happy hour

Just for clarification, it's not exactly an "hour", it's more of a general reference point.

You do use a phone, right? I mean, I understand, I gave up on social media pretty quick, but "if you want to talk to me come over to my house" seems a bit excessive ^^

Facebook is pretty devious about getting people to come back several times a day, or just never leave... of course it's addictive, that's their business model.

Wake me up when you don't use the internet at all. Who gives a crap which ones you use and when. Never will understand why people trip over themselves bragging about which sites they don't use. Nobody cares.

It really annoys me, too. I don't use Facebook much, so when I do get on (usually to look up a friend's e-mail, or something like that) they send me e-mails about "Welcome Back!" and "Here's what's been going on!"

fark off!

Last I checked 'a phone' is 'live'. When I use teh Skype it's even 'face-to-face'. Although, yes, there have been times I have had to tell certain farkers on rare occasions that if they want to talk to me they can over to my house and try... if they're willing to assume the risk. But they never do.

I assume the risk is minimal.

I can't really fault them for that. MMO's are the same basic concept, though more expensive to make. Diablo II was addictive as hell, and III wont be much different. Now that they've added XP and levels to FPS games they're going down a similar route. Age of Empires 3 did it years ago, though I would argue with limited success(even though I loved the shiat out of the game).

I'd guess part of the problem is most of us have short attention spans, so it's the best way for game companies to adjust to us.

I am quite certain that your response, and the spirit of your response specifically, is a massive indicator of just how much you really do care.

You know what happens when you 'assume'. Right?

Oh. From Texas. In that case, most definitely probably not.

Well then, come on over and I'll learn ya, Tex.

I forgot about video chat, honestly... At any rate, unless you video chat 100% of phone calls then it's not 100% live & face to face. so hmph

Well, the folks around here already know I'm an ass. I'm sure they wouldn't be surprised to hear you are, too.

And if you're really threatening me, you should know that I'm an expert in coward-fu. And I wear shoes that are good for running almost all the time.

If I have an e-mail message showing someone posted something on my facebook page, I will look. That is the only time I will log on to my account.

Hey, Subby , just do what I do and have email alerts set up in the event of a greenlight. As far as Facebook goes my life would probably be a lot better without it. People take it way way way too seriously, and I don't take it the least bit seriously. I went a few weeks or so without getting on, and I kept getting emails about notifications. Apparently Facebook really didn't want me to miss people sharing too much info, being passive-aggressive, typing like a mentally challenged inner city kid, and posting bullshiat links to stuff that's neither funny nor interesting. Facebook worried itself a lot over it.

I also used to play games on Facebook, but this is one case where my Video Game ADHD (getting easily distracted from games, the ability to walk away from a game I religiously played up until that point, losing interest out of nowhere) comes in handy. I did kick all kinds of conceivable ass in Bejeweled Blitz. Playing that shiat on Adderall was nuts.

So addicting? Facebook? Hahahhahahahhha, sure, go with that.

You can get addicted to anything you enjoy, except pot because this is fark.

THIS. All the social media sites are good tools for communication. It's all about how you choose to use the tools. Just because everyone else is posting about their bowel movements doesn't mean you have to.
