Facebook junkie?

Postby Antony » Tue 07 Feb, 2012 2:34 pm

A new study has found 13% of Australians regular post updates while on their bathroom break. Also 67% of us are on the social network.
Somehow, "Facebook break" is now replacing the old cigarette break for many people.

I do have a Facebook account, but I don't update it religiously.

I read a recent study as well found here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2399834,00.asp. It claims that FB is actually more addictive than cigarettes and alcohol although I'm not sure about that. I also have a FB account and have noticed recently that a lot of people aren't updating nearly as much as they once did. Perhaps like other online phenomena, FB is reaching its saturation point and people are beginning to look for something newer and more exciting. Who can say?
