Did You Know?

Did you know that for hundreds of years all over the world coffee houses where the one of the noisiest places to be because of the many people that come there to drink there coffee and socialize. As of today the coffee houses are so quite and for the most part !  it mainly because of the way we all connect today in the world, and that's through the Internet on our computers or laptops and even phones! Social Networking sites have been the the culprit for the most part for indulging our minds to this complex world of the Internet, I wonder if anyone in these coffee houses notice whats going on around them while they are browsing the Internet???   I honestly would have to say NO!

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.

Facebook Gamers Goldmine

Its no surprise that Facebook draws a crowd of social media zombies , but its the games that get everyone zoned out and preoccupied with games that just do that keep your mind out of the real world while you tend to your farm or out in Mafia wars taking a ht on someone. The fact of the matter is in the end what dos this time get me, a bigger farm , more things to do to waste more time on a game that ultimately will get me into trouble with my normal life activities.One thing to factor into what benefits to gaming is , is my time used constructively. The most baffling question of all is what do the players get out of the experience as far as spending all that time on a game? Is facebook going to offer money monetary prizes for individuals for playing there games to motivate more people to play? Everyone wants something for there time and that's how Im starting to see it. Instead the other way around , where players spending there money in a game that really is taking up all your time when we all know we could be doing something more constructive.  To get a perspective of who and how many people play these games here is a link and youll be suprised.
