Fear of Facebooking

For some, the negative side of instant social networking begins to get under the skin

There are over 17 million Facebook users in Thailand and their number continues to grow. From Facebook statistics, by country, Thailand ranks 14th among nations with the highest number of subscribers to this popular social networking medium.

Like it or not, Facebook has become a part of many people's lives. Probably yours too.

Mark Zuckerberg's larger than life baby is now factoring in our personal, political, social and cultural spheres. On Facebook, we now make plans, talk to family members, reveal political inclinations, post food pictures as well as tag friends and much more _ all done within three minutes or less. The other side of the coin is that Facebook uses these subscribers to further its business interests _ as we are fully aware.

    Meh..facebook. It's an easy way to reach lots of people. But beyond anything, I use it to talk to my friends who are overseas. It's nice having an easy way to keep in touch with them.
