Yes, I can see you now, sitting there all innocent-like, looking around like I'm referring to other person comfortably positioned in front of their computer with Facebook minimised in the bottom of their screen. You know who you are, don't be ashamed; beacuse in actual fact - we all love Facebook a little too much for our own good.

Infact, there are approximately 350 million of us who get on this crazy social networking site, so it's no wonder it's pretty much taken taken over the world.

There is a bit of a generic pattern when it comes to joining Facebook, I'm sure you all remember it well.
There's the initial sign-up, you don't know much about this "So-called Facebook", but your friend has one and raves about it so why the hell not? You fill in your favourite books and quote and chuck on your best looking photo (preferably one taken from the left-hand side because it's totally your best angle).
It's safe to say that it all goes down hill from there, you get your friends count up, your putting up photos left right and centre and getting tagged in hundreds more, and don't even get me started - on the Farmville.
What makes Facebook that little bit more insane is some of the groups it's got going at the moment, my favourite - "Can this pickle get more fans than Twilight?" personally, I'm kinda rooting for that little pickle.

Before you know it, the checking of not only your own Facebook page but that of the guy or girl you met over the weekend, the crazy-ass ex and the girl from your highschool that's just popped out a baby becomes a daily ritual.
Heaven forbid you don't have a laptop or iPhone in your uni lectures, you won't be able to join the many other students who are taking "notes".
It is safe to say that if you start to have Facebook withdrawals, you've hit the "Facebook is my best friend" stage.

It's understandable that everyone gets along so well with Facebook, infact I'm sure it's safe to say that if Facebook threw a party - we'd all be there will bells on.
Who else will sit patiently and let you update them with
"So and so is......drinking a cup of tea" or
"So and so is.....too hot, bored or wishes they were totally at the beach lmao, srsly, OMG!"

A study undertaken by Compete.com in January 2009 stated that Facebook was the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users.
Infact, Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying
 "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?"

Facebook really does become that companion who you can be in touch with any point of the day or night. I'm happy to say that me and the old Facebook have been good chums for quite some time and as I'm sure most of you can agree we'd all be a little lost without it.


Lolz.
