Certainly Facebook is the echelon of what researchers have been telling us that we live in a knowledge society. We know more about our friends than we use to - courtesy of facebook. It is easy and it is cosy to have a page on facebook. But the danger is that you often log into facebook, alone in your bed, ideas and feelings flow naturally and it is easy to just write on your wall something that may haunt you a while.
Consider these views from Time magazine;
Sometime in the next few weeks, Facebook will officially log its 500 millionth active citizen. If the website were granted terra firma, it would be the world’s third largest country by population, two thirds bigger than the United States. More than 1 in 4 people who browse the internet not only have facebook account but have returned to the site within the past 30 days.
Being excommunicated from facebook today would be even more painful. For many people, it is second home. Users share more than 25 billion pieces of intimate information and photos with facebook each month.
