I feel as if I am addicted to facebook. I spend around 5-6hours a day on facebook. Its good social networking site, you get in touch with your friends but now I feel as if its taking too much of my time. If I get even 5mins I feel like checking my facebook account.

Hi! I don't think I am, but since I work online my Facebook account is also open the whole day. I have my favorite videos and games there. So, when I get bored I just watch videos, check out my friends profile and do some games.

At first, when I was new to social networking and Facebook was still a novelty, I was somewhat addicted. I spent quite a long time - after becoming a member - finding family members and friends that I could add, joining groups, starting groups, liking pages, tweeking my profile, and playing Scrabble and Mafia Wars. But I have since outgrown the site. In fact, it bores me and I am unable to figure out what it was that I enjoyed about it in the first place. Don't get me wrong, though; I still login to check my messages and occassionally - though, rarely - update my status. I guess that, like anything, interest in Facebook can wane. At first it was a tool for keeping in touch and taking some time out of my day to relax a little. But then - as I began to overuse it, I guess - the fun turned into a chore-like obsession that I no longer enjoyed. I suppose that moderation is the key. When it's no longer relaxing or fun, then it's time to take a step back.

Anyway, i still use it to participate in some discussions etc but the usage of facebook is getting lesser :p All the best to you and hope you enjoyed it :D

I used to be addicted in facebook but not anymore since I have become too busy in a lot of things. Before, I usually spend 4-5 hours a day for facebook but now, 1 hour or less is enough. Maybe another reason is my friends are not that active anymore in this social networking site.

I think I have outgrown facebook. I rarely leave comments to my friends. I also rarely play their games. I only use facebook to chat with some of my friends.

To be honest, I am super addicted to Facebook that its kind of killing me. I always have my browser open for Facebook and like you mentioned I keep refreshing the page each 5 minutes! I spend most of my time online on Facebook. Then again I do thing it is really a good social networking site. It helps me a lot to keep in touch with my friends that are not around. It also plays an important to me in helping out with club activities in my University.
