I chose a plain, simple title on purpose, because facebook quite simply has become a plain, simple
entity in our everyday lives. “They're not together any more, they're single on their facebook
relationship status.” “Yeah came back from his holiday yesterday, didn't you read it on facebook?”
How many times have we heard these phrases? If it's break ups, football scores and news, political
issues, events promotions, personal fights turned public, facebook is one of the best places to get to
know what's going on.

It has taken up a huge chunk from our lives, rather than studying for our exams we end up spending
hours on facebook everyday. It may also become a pain in the neck for most of us, recently due
to the multiple like pages created. People who we may not know, end up talking to use as if we've
known them for ages, just for us to “like their pic”. Another issue with regards to facebook, are these
Cityville, Fishisle, Yoville, and the oh so famous Farmville games which apparently every individual
who plays these games needs some form of assistance as personally I get about twenty requests
daily to play these games. To be honest with you, I've tried out all these games to see what the fuss
is all about, and amazingly enough they really are quite addicting, but I stopped when I had the
chance.

A few years ago, there was hi5, now we have facebook to fill our “spare time” and study time at the
same time, who's not to say that twitter will take facebook's place in a few month's time?
