Social Networking sites and I am particularly referring to sites such as Facebook seem to be reeling in the addicts. Originally the idea was to hitch up and spin some yarns with old friends, but now people find themselves inundated every time they log in with requests to send their friends drinks or to Be a Billionaire, Send Diamonds, poker chips, mafia titles and indeed to sell their friends on Hotties for Sale or Friends For Sale.

Well, I have signed up to this, I’ll try anything once, but I would like to know where do I collect my drinks from, as having so far racked up an astonishing 200 or so, I am still parched!
Are we all really so bored?
On
Facebook I am a Billionaire in terms of Assets and cash on
Friends for Sale, I have diamonds coming out of every orifice and a millionaire's wallet in Texas Hold 'em Poker. I am ranked in the Top 50 globally on at least 2 applications, maybe more and you can buy me for a very reasonable $700 Million. There is one thing this obviously does mean ... I am lacking something in my life, because in order for me to fall to such levels of depravity has taken time, effort and commitment and above everything else a recession hit
social life!
Has anybody gained from what I have done?
I think apart from the
real millionaires sipping real champagne on their yachts in the Caribbean or some such real paradise, and I’m talking of course of those who own the applications, not much has come out of my efforts. But wait, then there is
Save The Planet, an application that actually attempts to do just that, in fact they go to the extent of publishing what all our effort has meant to the world’s poorest and most needy. Give it a click, you may only be contributing a dime at a time, but that’s an extra dime into the pockets of those who need it, albeit whilst making the rich richer in the process, but in the overall scheme of things it’s a benefit. Right?
In addition, I hope I contribute to the laughter of folk on Status Shuffle. So far my status’s have been read by over 400,000 people and used by over 4,000. I couldn’t achieve that anywhere else, could I? It’s just a shame I don’t get a dollar for every time they’ve been read as I could be on my own little island by now.
Despite all of the above I don’t really spend as much time on
Facebook as you may have good reason to believe. It’s an hour or so on most days (ok that probably makes me a
FB addict!), and is brought on purely by the lack of decent television and free activities available these days.
If you are yet to discover the realms of
Facebook and its ever growing pages and pages of applications, give it a go, it can be fun. There is something for everybody and you never know, if you can remember why you signed up in the first place, you might even just hook up with
old friends and new in the process.
Is that the time? Sorry, I’ll have to go as I’m due on a
Facebook Poker Table in Chicago any minute. If I catch a plane I’ll be there in 10 hours ... ahhh but on Facebook I’ll be there in 5 minutes
See you there!
