I guess I’m one of those people who are addicted to social networking sites. And recently, the subject of my so-called addiction is Facebook.

I recently participated in a local podcast that touched on this topic and, somehow, raised good arguments.
How does social networking sites affect real life relationships?
One is online and the other, well, IS generally offline even when some of it IS spent online.
Some of the questions raised and tried to find answers to were:

Will you ask your partner to delete photos/albums of his or her exes?
Why is that bit important to you?
Is it important for partners to update their profiles?
Why is it important to update?
Why keep an account (Friendster, Multiply, Orkut, MySpace) even when it has been dormant?

And there were …read more

I’ve been noticing that apart from the usual online dating sites, people have resorted to social networking sites to find dates.
It’s actually not a bad idea if you think of it. What do you really need in a site to find someone you can date anyway? Isn’t it all about finding a person whom you can connect with?

What I …read more

Isn’t that wrong? Is it just me?
He said on his page he was just there for friends, but I don’t think friends do that.
If he wants everyone to …read more
