Setting:  High School Gymnasium, a number of chairs are set around in a circle all facing each other with different people sitting in them.  In the corner is a fold out lunch table with coffee and cookies.

A man in the circle stands up.

"Hello, my name is Prophet and I am a Facebook addict."

Yes, yes Facebook the Ultimate time sink, beware the applets, quizes and sexual predetors.

When I updated my IM status to "All my friends need facebook, ALL OF THEM!"  Slaughter asked me, "What's in it for me?"  I told him an easy way to connect to others send status updates and I can advertise SlaughterStock on there.  Then I told him I really only wanted people to join so I had more friends on MafiaWars and I told him, don't do it, it sucks up all your time and it's very addicting.

Well, it didn't work, Slaughter still joined facebook, which I think is spectacular, but at this time I will give some of the things I have found that help me not be a facebook junkie.
 

1. Don't play all the games, I'm a fan of Mafia Wars and Street Racing, I play some of the others once in awhile, but I don't really care about them.

2. Restrain yourself to visiting facebook only twice a day.  Do not get facebook moble or else it's with you all the time.

3. Create a To Do List, mine helps me stay focused on what I need to finish before school is over.

4. Finally, if you need to find a support group, it's called Internet Addiction and there are places to get help.

BTW here's my test site for GooseRiverBank

P. S. Slaughter, be happy I haven't introduced you to Fantastic Contraption
