Too Much Social Networking

I've had a Facebook account for some time now, though I don't sign on all that often. I think it is great to be able to find friends from high school, college, and other social venues and to keep up with what is going on in the world. I think it is exciting to watch discussions take place right in front of me in real-time.

But there is a downside. I am not a fan of is getting hooked on games that are offered on Facebook, and I am not a fan of spending hours seeing what other people are doing, or in mindless trivial pursuits online. For that reason I am rarely on for more than a few minutes at a time.

How about you? Do you have an account? How much time do you spend on Facebook every day? Do you take all the quizzes, personality profile tests, wish all your friends happy birthday, tell the world where you are every minute, and hop onto games for hours at a time?

I suggest you continually ask yourself this question, one that I try to ask myself all day long -- is this the best use of my time right now?

You decide. You can either comment on this posting, or hop over to my Facebook page and let me know how you feel.

All the best!
