Is Social Networking Costing You ?

You may know what the phrase comes from ( the new movie Social networking) . Based on a real life events of the founder of Facebook. Yes social networking is a huge market for many things other than people gathering together exchanging thoughts and information.
Identity theft
Its a place where you can loose your own identity and actually become a victim of identity theft.But that's all up to you if your willing to put your information out there for everyone to see. In the case of the Movie the scenario is much different , more like a bunch of greedy people want to take control of his idea and use it for there own personal use.
Spamming
Through social networking many advertisers try to get you to buy through the there channels and even misleading groups or friends on your lists try to get into spamming you with there own agendas. Keeping a perspective on why your there is , the only reason you stay there because of the connections to people you know.But is it worth it getting stuff thrown in your face everyday on your wall posts and mail, application requests. I know that there are settings on Facebook to help with many issues in regards to handling your account, but if you have to block your friends posts and requests then why do we have them as friends if we have to deal with this? Besides any socail netowrking site would be prone to this behavior , its a cesspool .
Game addiction = Lost time
Not to mention the amount of time people spend playing the games there. Its overwhelming to comprehend the wasted time used to play games there.  I know i used to be a game player there, when it dawned on me that i have more important things to do rather than tend to my farm or feed a fish. I know games are fun to play but when they take away to much time on my day and  its got to stop. I know that for some it is even costing them more than there time ,. but there money too , buying game credits.

In conclusion Facebook neither less is a valuable asset into the social networking stream on the internet just that people need to focus more on why there their? And of course manage there time better so they don't feel at the end of each and everyday that they could have don't something more productive.
