Facebook is a curse or a blessing ?

(1/4) > >>

Facebook is the world's largest social network, with more than 400 million users. Facebook was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, who recently stated, "It's a large number, but the way we think about this is that we're just getting started on our goal of connecting everyone!"

50 percent of the 400 million users log on to Facebook in any given day
More than 60 million status updates posted each day
More than 3 billion photos uploaded to the site each month
More than 5 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) shared each week
More than 1.5 million local businesses have active pages on Facebook
Pages have created more than 5.3 billion fans

Shall we blame what is happening to the Arab world on FB ? Or shall we thank FB for that ?
Post your views. =]

NotAbod:
Blame FB, why? I'll post the answer, but not now, let everyone post and share his opinion first.

Crooked:
Choice is ours. We can't blame anyone fer the choices we make. Enough said.  8) :P

What has Facebook got to do with it. Even if you argue that Facebook has enabled easier transmission of information how can that be a bad thing? Without platforms like these thousands of people could have been killed by governments desperate to cling on to power and noone outside would know.

Apart from that though I think Facebook is a nuisance. I don't think it's private enough and I don't like the fact that they keep my information that I have entered on it in the past on their servers and even deactivating it doesn't change anything. I recently got a google plus account and I like it much more than Facebook, although none of my friends have yet got the hang of it  ::).

And also some people use facebook just for bragging about how good a social life they have, "Oh look I go parties every weekend and I have LOADS of albums of me posing in different stances on my facebook to prove it". Inevitably a bunch of morons like those pictures and comment on how gorgeous they look (even they look like a horse). Lots of pretence. That's why facebook seems jarring at times. But it's all laughs I suppose.

Don't you think FB got NO LIMITS?

I believe everything in this world MUST have limits and in FB how many pages and groups were created offending other religions, cultures, countries, people? How many pages and groups were created containing content xxx in them?

People go to FB because they see it as freedom, but if this is how everyone define freedom as insulting, offending, hating and making others feel bad then I prefer being enchanted with chains but not have my Prophet, my God and my country being made fun off.

FB is a delusion or rather a virtual space. We forget our real lives, we stop doing activities and facing reality and then we end up being like sick physically and mentally.
