What Is Facebook Addiction?

Facebook is one of the most addictive social phenomena to have ever swept the world! You may think you're just a casual user, but denial is a hallmark of any form of addiction. Here are a few of the most common indicators that you may be more addicted to Facebook than you'd like to admit.

It was only a matter of time before the internet came up with it's own answer to crack cocaine: Facebook. Here's how to recognise that you have a problem…..
One of the earliest signs of addiction is changing your profile picture over and over again. It means you are worrying about your image far too much.
Also, if you are changing your status update more than once an hour then take a long hard look at yourself. Does anyone really need to know that Frederick is... making a cup of tea? Or thinking about buying a newspaper, or is on Facebook. No- they don't.
If you have ever jonesed for Facebook so much that you tried to access it via a mobile phone, then you need to have a word with yourself.
Another sign you're addicted is profile rash- where loads of unsightly applications adorn your page, like spots on an arse.
If you have Scrabulous, Super Wall, Zombies, Texas Hold 'Em, Videojug Brainometer, then you need to go cold turkey immediately. Get rid of as many apps as possible and refuse all new ones, even if they look rilly rilly super cool.
There is no hope for you once facebook has taken over your vocabulary. If you are saying things like "I'm going to do some facebooking" or "I'll facebook you about that later." then you need to get a grip and try spending more time with your friends- no, not your Facebook friends, your real ones in the real world......

In answer to your question about adding this video to your Facebook, here's some directions that may help you. First, making sure you are logged in to your Facebook. Second, open another window to this page. If you look directly to the right of the "Comments:" section, there is a section titled "Bookmark with:". Directly below it you'll see an option for Facebook. (Delicious, Digg, Reddit, Facebook, Stumble Upon). If you click on "Facebook", it will automagically add it to your Facebook wall. I hope this helps. :)
