    Just wondering why is everyone on a hype about Facebook. A majority of people I know has a Facebook account, this even include big companies and it's not like a 'must have'. You get me!

    Questions:

    The 5 W's:

    Who influenced YOU to get a Facebook account?
    What is so good about Facebook?
    When did you first hear about Facebook?
    Where did you find out about Facebook?
    Why did you join Facebook?

    Miscellaneous questions:


    What do YOU do on Facebook?
    How long do you go on Facebook? Daily, weekly, monthly.etc

    More will be added if needed.

    Who influenced YOU to get a Facebook account?
    This is a while back already though, i actually forgot WHY i made a facebook account. But, it's probably because everyone started making one, so I made one too.

    What is so good about Facebook?
    Honestly, nothing really. LOL. It's just like really.. another MSN kind of. Sharing your photos & videos that you took. Maybe play some games like.. Restaurant City & Farmville to kill time, though its kinda lame.

    When did you first hear about Facebook?
    I probably got my facebook account around 3-4 years ago? So that's probably when.

    Where did you find out about Facebook?
    Friends.

    Why did you join Facebook?
    Friends.

    *Isn't the who & why question.. kinda the same?*

    What do YOU do on Facebook?
    Post videos. See what my friends are up to recently.. etc.

    How long do you go on Facebook? Daily, weekly, monthly.etc
    Daily. I probably go on every.. 1-2 hours or so. I prefer PA rather than facebook imo :D

    ^definitely agree. i personally hate facebook and it annoys me whenever i see people in lectures stalking other people or staring at FB pics for the whole 3 hours of the lecture.

    but you have to admit that it does SOMEWHAT help you connect with people around you. say in university, with the large amount of students and social groups, there's bound to be a group dedicated for it. and people just generally add each other on FB rather than askin' em for their MSN or phone numbers right off the bat, and then you just build from there. whether you're still going to talk to them or not really depends though lol.
