Perfect money guy give me back my money!!!!! You fraudster and scammer!!! I reported your web site to SEC and Interpol. Interpol already knows about your operation and they have an open case against your scamming group. they traced you back to Moscow. Your fake Swiss shell corporation cannot protect you!!

We will get our money back and you will be behind bars.

I resisted as long as I could but due to friends/family pressure I gave in and opened a facebook account.
After having my page for just over a week I can certainly see why some find it very addictive.

Personally however I am already a little bored with the whole thing. Sure, I seemed to lose 6 hours of my day the first few days but very quickly I was resenting the time it took to reply to all my messages, annoyed by the many requests and confused as to why total strangers who just happened to have a mutual friend in common wanted to be my friend.

My first choice will always be to catch up with real friends in the flesh – but I’m sure the voyeur in me will still check out my page now and then to see what all these people I hardly know are up to … or maybe not

I think people need to look at Twitteraholics before Facebook users as addicts. Jaan Kanellis's last blog post..Canonical Tag From Google: So Simple and Smart

I think these days if you get anyone to talk about anything it is good. bad buzz or good buzz at least you got people talking about your product during very quiet times.

I gave up Facebook for Lent two years ago, when I was using it constantly because I had had it for about a year and a half at that point. As a college student, it was not only a valuable means of communication for me, it was also a huge procrastinating tool. After I first got it, I had tried to limit myself to 30 minutes on it a day, but that failed miserably. I knew it was a time waster, but I couldn't help it. So I knew that giving it up for Lent would be the only way to stay off it. I found that I got a LOT more done without it, and I strangely didn't even miss it that much. When I got it back, I spent far less time on it than I had before. But I was still glad to have it back! Rachel Burkot's last blog post..Pick Your Processor: PayPal Isn’t The Only Third-Party Option

More than abstaining, it is a question of balance. Social Networks are here to help us to maintain/create contacts in real life, not for their own sake. Guillaume's last blog post..Budget allocation favors online advertising over traditional

This is very silly. Socal Media, like Facebook, is simply a part of our lives now, like cellphones and answering machines (and chocolate and Starbucks). Will there be people who “abstain” for periods of time? Of course! But these things are here to stay because many, many people want and enjoy them. And always will.

It is interesting when you say "no such thing as bad publicity" - I recall a lorry firm who made the front page of a local newspaper because of potential road damage taking the route they travelled. The photograph had a great image of the lorry firms phone number and they got more business through it! It would have cost them a fortune to place a Front Page advert the conventional way.
