How often do you "face" your Facebook?

It's official. The social network that everyone's busy about these days is Facebook. But exactly how busy are you with your Facebook? How much time do you spend in a day tagging photos, greeting celebrants, checking status updates and all Facebook stuff? As for me, Facebook is a 15-to-30 minute daily 'staggered contract' (LOLs) I check my profile and other people's profiles every now and then - just to see what's going on with my friends and that's all. I'm not really fond of shouting every bit of my life on Facebook. How about you? How often do you "face" your Facebook?

I agree. There's something about Facebook that seemed to contaminate everyone. It's like your day is not complete without checking on your account if you have messages, friend requests and notifications. Actually, I don't really post in words what's happening in my life but rather, post the events that I've been into. It's for my entire family and closest of friends to see especially when we don't live in one place, and for me to look on once in awhile. I used to spend a lot of time on Facebook when I was still new but now, I would say...the most is 30 minutes.

I use to be really addicted to facebook when I fist started on the site. I do have it come to my cell phone as my blackberry has an application for that. So I might say that facing my facebook only consists of perhaps 15 mins -30 minutes maybe 3 times a week. I use to be on it for hours on end, but then so where all of my family and friends. So now just a few will be on in my circle of friends so not really a lot that has caused me to increase my time.

i do go in there every day but i really dont spend a whole lot of time in there. i pretty much just read everyone's updates and go on from there. i find facebook sort of boring actually but i wouldnt get rid of it because its a way for me to keep in contact with friends and family that i dont see that often.

Well I spend lot of time on facebook. Whenever Iam free I just keep logging in Facebook account to check my friends status, reply to them and see who are online this keeps me grabbed up in my passtime. But sometimes I feel that Iam a bit addicted to Facebook which I should minimize a little. Honetly I love sitting on facebook it feels quite connected to friends chatting with a number of people at same time this makes me more open to new friends. I spend about nearly two hours on facebook daily. It never had been a day which I never logged in Facebook. I like Facebook very much.

I usually open my facebook account to check for some updates or announcements about some school work. SOmetimes to see the photos I am tagged in and untag it if it's something that looks weird. Hahaha! I think I spend just a few minutes every day for face book. I check it everyday. :] But I don;t stay too long for it. :]

I open my Facebook account daily just to check for notifications and updates. It has also been a vital and effective tool in information dissemination, especially in our school, so it really is a must for me to go check my Facebook account very now and then, though I don't post much updates about me in Facebook. I do it in Twitter. LOL!

My nephew's class also uses fb for info dissemination in school - which is I think a very good way of using the site.

I also "face" my Facebook for about 15 or maybe 20 minutes a day;I usually check out for news from my friends and if I have something interesting to post on my wall I post it,and that's all.I know there are people who like to keep us informed all the time with their activities and use FB for that purpose,but I can't be like that;I prefer spending more time here on Mylot,it is more interesting for me.

I am not a fan of facebook. But whenever, I do I only use it as a base to get client who will buy product from my online stores ( affiliate marketing ) I only use facebook for business transaction that is to make friend whom I will later convert to reliable customers

That is probably the first thing I do when I wake up lol. I'll still be in bed but will be on facebook from my phone. And even while i'm on the computer and doing other stuffs, facebook will most probably be on in some tab. I'm not so craazy about updating my daily life on there but I love checking on my friends coz right now most of my friends and me are in different places

Actually I barely use facebook. Honestly I find facebook a bit boring. Myspace was way better than facebook. it allowed you to put more personality to you profile. Myspace's downfall was that it did a bad job with blocking spam. I even like my lot better than facebook. Mylot not only have interesting posts, but it even pays as you socialize.

i also log-in in my facebook account for about 30 mins unless im chatting with my brother who is in singapore or even with my sisters here in the philippines. sometimes i do post pictures when i have some interesting photos. am just checking the status of my close friends and relatives and that's it. but i must admit, i was once hooked playing farmville, baking life, cafe world, fishville and farmtown =D

I'm not really sure. I spend quite a bit of time on my laptop in the evenings doing work and other things, and facebook is usually up in the background. I check it about every 10 minutes, but I'm always just seeing what my friends are up to and checking events. I very rarely write a status or upload pictures, so I'm not quite sure what my actual time is!

Facebook is kind of lifestyle for some people. I dont say I cant live without facebook, but it really help me to connect with my friend, old friend and get some information/news. I use facebook about 6 hours/ day. But I'm not kind of share every little bit of me to whole world, no....no...no... I avoid that!! But I need facebook to promote my article to be read by people. I think use facebook for that aim is working.

Same with me. I don't like to let people know all my status all the time. Just checking on with these updates will do. I checked it 3 times a day for 1-5 minutes. That's all. I can't stay longer than that. Its boring.

I check on Facebook now and then. I don't have time to lose. Generally when I receive a comment or message I go to read it and respond. Nevertheless, Facebook is a good way to promote yourself if you have a business and lot of time to do it. Also Facebook is easy for communicating with friends very quickly, but there are also other ways such as messenger or Skype.

I don't face my Facebook all the time to- but I do check it everyday.. ANd I just look at my wall for updates or messages and everything. this is what I like about facebok since evrything is alreay in your wall, friend's updates and all it's not such a hassle to look for updates and notifications.

I hate to admit it, but Facebook eats a lot of my on-line time. I can't help checking my profile, my friends profile or even the profile of jsut some random person. Nonetheless, I tend to keep my status updates on the low. I still do not feel comfortable telling everyone what I do every minute/hour of the day. :)
