Apparently some college girl likes to spend 3 to 4 hours per day on Facebook. Her mother believes that her grades have been suffering as a result of so much time on Facebook. The mother decided that paying her daughter $300 to stay off the site might improve her grades.

Now I don't know how anyone could spend a full 3 to 4 hours on a site like Facebook every day. I can't imagine what one could even do there for that amount of time. Unless she has a habit of checking out 1000 friend pages each and every day. I can't see how posting a status update, adding a picture or video, and making a few comments could eat up that much time.

The mother can try her $300 offer to get her daughter off Facebook, or to reduce her time there anyway. If I had to take a guess that $300 is going to be a total waste. This girl will take the money and continue to do her daily Facebook routine. If she is that hooked on it, a whole $300 isn't going to make her stop. Nor, will it help improve her grades. Maybe she could take the $300 and pay someone to do her homework, but that wouldn't last long either.

This really makes me wonder...Do a lot of people really waste that much time on Facebook every day? If so how many?

Know wonder so many people are lazy, unfit, and unhealthy these days!

How exciting could a movie about social networking and specifically Facebook actually be?

I mean a movie about the founders of Facebook doesn't seem that appealing or interesting to me. Maybe it is to all the Facebook addicts, or the younger generation that can't seem to live without it.

A few popular movie review sites has it rated fairly decent. Jesse Eisenberg plays the role of Mark Zukerberg. I did like his character in Zombieland.

If they add a mix of comedy it might be slightly more appealing. I just don't find the nerdy computer programing stuff that exciting enough to sit for 2 hours.

The rating is PG-13 and not that it matters too much. I am guessing they wanted to keep it below an R rating so all the teen Facebook'ers would be able to see it.

Kind of reminds me of the older Bill Gates vs. Steve Jobs movie Pirates of Silicon Valley, which incidentally I never watched either.

Maybe it is your thing...great...I hope you like it as much as you probably like Facebook - The Social Network site!

If you are one of the Facebook addicts you might have noticed the recent outage or down time a few days ago. Apparently the site was down for approximately 2 and 1/2 hours give or take.

Users reported seeing or getting an 500 internal server error. Others just didn't see or get anything, just a blank page.

It didn't take long for the internet world to take notice. Even the online news media outlet sites were quick to publish an article on it.

It is truly amazing how much time people spend on a site like Facebook, which is pretty much about nothing. Is there life besides Facebook? Apparently not for all the addicts that can't go a few hours without it.

I have never been a big fan of the site. I could easily live without it. I really don't see what is so exciting that someone needs to visit it multiple times a day, but to each their own I guess.

It goes to show no site is up and running perfect 24-7. Even the big name sites have their share of issues and outages from time to time. They are just noticed and picked up on when they have issues, problems, or technical difficulties more than the average site.

I know Facebook is one of the most popular sites around right now. I honestly do not know why it continues to be so popular. I guess partly because it's simple layout and ease of use. Other than that possibly because there are so many users on Facebook, it is likely that you can find old friends, classmates, or whatever.

I am really not tuned into it or addicted to it like many people seem to be. I don't see the point of logging into Facebook daily or several times a day. If I am lucky at best 1-2 per week, but usually less is more than enough for me.

Each time I login to the site it really is pretty much the same thing just a new day. Everyone is rambling on about nothing, a few pictures get posted from time to time. Nothing that exciting to worry about on a daily basis.


The major issue I dislike about Facebook is all the applications that automatically post things. Which would be like all the game scores and stats. Horoscopes, Bible verses, trivia, etc. The list goes on and on.

I really do not care about everyone's stats for every little thing in the world. Not only is this totally annoying, it clutters up the entire Facebook main page after login.

I guess it's a younger generation or crowd thing, or stay at home moms that have nothing better to do all day or something. I just don't get all this. I almost consider it spam.

I am not totally against Facebook. I just don't think it's as great as everyone makes it out to be. Not to mention the privacy issues they have had lately, but that is another story.
