Facebook Takeover

As I am a user of social networks I can see how indefinately they are beginning to take over the world. Facebook especially, you can have it on phones, iPods, as well as on computers, automatically signed in when the devices are turned on. As facebook was just beginning in February of 2004 it was only limited to Harvard students but just 3 months after July 15, 2009 in Tech Crunch it was announced to have "200 million users" but it was also said that was an under count. Now there are more than "500 million active users 50% of which log in on any given day" those users have an average of possibly 130 friends to communicate with on there and spend about 700 billion minutes per month on this network as said in the Facebook Press Room.



Founder Mark Zuckerberg has also created almost 900 million attractions to his site to keep peoples interest to a maximum. There is something on there for each individuals interest which keeps them coming back to facebook on an often basis, as well as expressing to others the possible interactions they have for themselves. This social network could be used for business and pleasure which helps to increase the amount of users. Business' are able to use this site for networking and to build their corporate empire, as regular everyday people use this system to connect to friends and join groups as well as other entertaining factors as said by "Linda Roeder in What is Facebook.com? What Does Facebook.com Have to Offer?". Its more than just socializing its broadening certain spectacles of personal and professional in one innovative network bringing the world to come and join in on the action Facebook the takeover. Look me up!

Narcissism And Facebook Go Hand In Hand

If you’ve never heard the term narcissism then I guess it doesn’t apply to you but it does apply to millions of others. “Narcissists are people who think they're pretty great. ... They think they're more attractive, more intelligent, more unique and entitled to special treatment," says Lauren Buffardi. The number of Facebook friends and wallposts that individuals have on their profile pages correlates with narcissism. Out of my six hundred friends half of them can be classified as narcissist. Facebook provides narcissist with a profile they can customize to fit their real personality, but make it better. Have you ever logged on to Facebook and your news feed was cluttered with one person posting whatever comes to his/her mind every 2 minutes? Who really cares that you’re hungry? I know I don’t. Was it necessary to post this online? You could have used that time it took to go and get something to eat instead of assuming that everyone cared about your hunger. I along with my friends created our own Facebook pages to keep in touch with each other and to be able to see the changes each of us went through during our time apart. Facebook has become a place where people showcase everything about their life. Those narcissistic enough to believe that everyone cares what they have to say end up expressing too much. It has gotten so bad that people will go home and slander their place of work online, that’s why employers periodically check their employee’s social networking pages. Twitter has also become a place where narcissit gather and satisfy their needs. Some specialist believe that Twittering is the perfect setup for narcissist because its a constant update of who you are. "Nobody would twitter if they had a strong sense of identity" says, clinical pshchologist Oliver James. Are you a narcissist? Checkout you Facebook and twitter pages and see what you got floating out there in cyberspace.
