So, after being hounded by about a dozen people to join facebook, on Friday afternoon I finally joined. It is now Sunday morning and I have 97 friends. I know that many people?
So basically, because there's just so much activity on there, it forces you to check it all the time. I leave the house and when I come back I have 6 emails from Facebook. I find people that I haven't talked to in years who I don't really have anything to say to, but it's neat to know they're still alive!
Not to mention that because I got this many friends this quickly that it is a little overwhelming. I'm not going to try to talk to all of them. I don't want to. I also don't want to spend ALL of my time on Facebook keeping up on everyone's updates.
In conclusion, while it is really cool to be able to see people that I haven't seen in years, it's getting a little annoying. We'll see how much I really jump onto the bandwagon.

I agree that facebook is super addictive..however! there is no way that you got 97 friends in 4 days without you putting in some serious effort adding friends on your end. A web like that doesn't just happen on its own.
Friend Status Update: Stephanie Betts is not innocent!

p.s. you can go into your account and control what events result in an e-mail. Also, you can turn up or down the events of certain 'friends' so you only find out the stuff you want to know about the people you care about.
I never said I didn't request a bunch of people to be my friend, but that's what I though you did! Plus it just snowballed from there. I don't think I knew what I was getting myself into.
And thanks for the tip. I'm definitely changing those settings
