“Facebook” – The new e-Addictive
September 9, 2007 2 Comments
FACEBOOK.COM – Guess this is going to be the next biggest internet sale (other than YouTube) of this decade! Someone (Yahoo, MSN or Google) is going to buy over this entity. And people like us are going to be help the creator to achieve multi-billion sale. Imagine, every new Facebook account we setup and maintain is worth USD$50 and you have about 20 million users. Do the maths. (We provide the network and content for free and someone makes all that money! Smart!)
Beside the $$$-talk, Facebook offers more than Friendsters and it is super addictive. I was on my round inviting people to get on the Facebook and I got "ticked off" by Juliana. (Haaa..surprise, surprise). She snapped in disgust "no..no…not FACEBOOK again! It keeps people off their daily jobs!"
She is right. Facebook is as addictive and disruptive as MSN Messenger. Look around you, how much time we spent on MSN Messenger everyday at work (if your company hasn’t ban them yet). It is a great communication, bonding, social networking, be-in-the-radar, be-popular and online dating tool. Like Friendster, it opens doors faster than you pick-up chicks at "Baby Face".
Nevertheless, it is a good community. Even old-timer conservatives like Jimmy, Meijie and myself are on this "bad wagon" (yah, it is bad). It is really fun and super-interactive. And it makes us realise how small our world is. (Scary…I just found out that my HK client is a friend of my Shanghai headhunter!)

hey joe,
Sorry for being "rude" that day but i am utterly disgusted over this FaceBook thingy. Apparently this FaceBook "technology" was 4 years ago & why do people got hooked just today…. i felt it is just for cheap trills! Sorry mate, i’m disgusted not because it was a 4 years ago technology neither of the cheap trill but just hated the fact that the designers in my department worked so damne hard & had to take on the "xtra" work just cos some of the ADs said they are "busy"! BUSY??!!! my ass man…. they are like on FACEBOOK 5hrs out of the 8hrs in office! I ever raised out this issue to my 2nd boss & apparently my big boss is into it as well & making it "compulsory" for BLUE staff. And guess what we replied to our boss when asked why not a FaceBook user?… our answer is "cos we were over the "face"!!
So please, FaceBookers out there, if you really think this is such a cool stuff, make it proud & not mis-utilising it, causing more people like me hating it only!
