Facebook Kills Relationships, Says New Yorker Magazine

Walter Woodman and Patrick Cederberg both quit Facebook about a year ago. “I felt that I had developed an unhealthy addiction to lurking and creeping,” Cederberg, who is twenty-three, told me. Late at night, he would find himself staring at his computer screen, clicking mindlessly from one page to another. “I’d end up on some girl from Bangladesh’s Facebook account, and I’d be angry that I couldn’t see her profile.”

“I just don’t see what the plusses are,” Woodman, twenty-two, said. He senses the incredulity among his peers—“You’re just trying to be supercool when you say you don’t have a Facebook”—but, he tried to explain, “I’m not a very public person.”

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Yup, I deleted my facebook account back in 2010. It was an unhealthy addiction.

Now look, I'm addicted to Tubag Bohol. :P  ;D

Quite frankly, I prefer the interaction here to face book. I love the intellectuals here, the great minds of Bohol. We even have our own resident priest, lawyer, animal rights specialist(s), editors, geneologists, apologists, theology students, business specialists, health care specialists, tax specialists, education specialists and marketers. wowzers! ;D

i tried facebook lately, very briefly.  i shared the account with our little girl because she complained that she's the only one not allowed to have a facebook account and she can't understand why her classmates are allowed.  so i met her halfway, by sharing one account for us both.  (so i can monitor her posts.)  i gave up at once.  i can't stand the layout and all those pictures of people i couldn't tell from adam.

it's true.  the exchange here at tb is more interesting.  and there's this bonus of privacy if we opt for it.
