So as many can relate, Facebook is an ongoing website which is viewed on average six times a day by one user.

Yes, this website is good for keeping in touch with friends, family and people who are far away. You can browse pictures, write on people’s walls and even post videos. .

The Globe and Mail says in July Facebook said it had 500 million users worldwide, up from the 250 million users it had the year before.

Louise Clements, the director of sales for Facebook, told the media that 16 million Canadians spend no less than one hour a day on Facebook.

Putting this in as plain terms as possible, Facebook is sucking everyone in to its vortex of dropping everything they are doing and sitting browsing who knows what for a long period of time.

I have even said it is ridiculous how many hours I spend looking at photos or reading status updates when I could be doing homework or something more productive.

You know it is bad when you start up the internet and instead of typing in Google, you find yourself staring at the Facebook page. That’s right, without even knowing your brain automatically thinks internet means Facebook.

I would have to say though the website is good for getting the news out right when it happens. If it is snowing outside, we will know it is snowing and we don’t even have to look out our window. If something major happens in the world, don’t bother looking on the news site, just go straight to Facebook. I bet five of your friends have their status set to the latest details on that subject.

I could sit here all day saying positives and negatives about Facebook, but I am sure everyone agrees when I say I might have a notification I have to check.
