What is so attractive or interesting about a website called facebook?

what is so great about reading what others are doing?

Can someone please tell me why it is such an big thing?

May be being an extrovert, I think only interactions in person are “real” for me. Cyber interactions just doesn’t cut it.

I need to explore the reasons why people are so addicted to facebook, so I ask my friends. I have many answers.

“It is convenient to set up party invites and group activities.” – seems vaild

“It easy for others to see what I’ve done and where I’ve been to.” – ok

“It easy to see other peoples’ lives without asking them.” – weird….

and many more different answers.

I think the only thing to take away from this product for me is privacy should be kept as privacy. People have different views on their privacy. I respect that and I understand is.

May be people just like to tell in the air, so they don’t look like show offs yet they get to show off.

May be it is a space for introverts to express themselves without the need to be shy in front of others.

Til today I still really don’t have an answer to why people use facebook. someone please educate me!!!

But please, think before you post, think about how others will react to it be for you click post.

I know one can’t control, nor should they control, what others think or assume. But please take that point into consideration in the future. It could be catastrophic to one’s life and others at the same time.

I know we are social animals, but in my head i thought social interactions are meant to be done in person.
