I am addicted to Facebook.

Well, I have no qualms about admitting this addiction. Most of us have it. A few of us don't. And the newest member to Facebook is my old man! Seriously. A 52 year old dude. In case you have got no idea how my dad looks like here's a picture.


Just recently my boyfriend and I had this debate about Facebook. He thinks Facebook will end up like Friendster - dead. I think Facebook will prosper for many years to come. Often I like to make comparisons about social sites with search engines. Of course there is no like to these 2, expect for both being on the web. Remember something called Excite.com? During the Dot com era, I had an account with them but soon lost track 2 years after. Or how about Yahoo? Some of us may still be using Yahoo, but I have also forgotten my Yahoo account. Is dot-com still the IN thing?

Well, recently I discovered the joy of android phones.
Google Nexus One.
Motorola's Motoblur. So I think, in time to come, Facebook and Twitter and blogs will just be something like virtual addresses to us. So much so that even the government will be able to keep track of where we are online. Maybe I do secretly hope that human race will evolve into a way it resembles scenes from the movie trilogy - The Matrix. Insane but cool.
