There really isn't much to it. I noticed that if you weren't playing "farmville" or weren't preoccupied with the drivel that many people call games... then it is a painful experience.
I stumbled across this when sitting in bed on Facebook deciding what to do with my day, just twiddling my thumbs as I do, when this thought came into my head. I'd sat for an hour and a half on Facebook doing literally nothing. No one is talking, no one is online, I'm not addicted the the farm life or to what ever other game that depicts living and taking care of some random woodland creatures, so really all Facebook is when you get down to it is the more patient counterpart of Twitter.
Twitter is the faster version of Facebook as you can upload stuff like pictures and videos, make "friends" with celebrities... You're also able to update your status every 3 minutes (or if you're a tad frantic like myself, a little more often on occasion) as our generation has to find something to post up on the internet that frequently because heaven forbid ,you miss a moment.
Facebook is for those who want to make a post about something every hour or even, less frequently. Shock, horror, I know. It's the laid back, relaxed version which I can spend about 3 minutes on before it looses my attention and I find something shiny which holds my attention longer. I rarely go onto facebook online anymore, as it comes to my phone. To get down to my point, I have a question. What is it about facebook that captures our generation in this odd, yest fascinating way?
