What is up with this Facebook Obsession?


I was watching the daily show “The Anti-Social Network”, about the facebook obsession last night, and they were discussing about Mark Zuckerberg the co-founder and CEO of facebooks interview on “60 mints,” and it seems that he was having a panic attach when asked about the problems of facebook.

   Every social network and any other free web hosting websites will have its pros and cons, and that is just the way it is, and if people do not want to use these networks then they simply should not sign up and create an account. I have read about student who were being stalked because of facebook, but that is not Mark Zuckerberg fault. People should not add their phone numbers, addresses or any other personal information on their facebook profiles because 24,000 or more people could be using this information for the wrong reasons.

   Facebook has become an obsession I myself found that it is hard to get off because it took hours to upload photos, and it also has so many differen interesting things like chating, games, groups, etc, but the facebook obsessions will continue, and will always have problems such as: “False,” problems many of the users are creating by misunderstanding others statuses, and by taking status updates as if it were about them. So will facebook become unpopular like myspace has? and is Twitter the best social network that is out?

Before and After: I Used To Be Fat! on Mtv

                                                              

I watched the new show “I use to be Fat,” on MTV the other night after the Jersey Shore 3 premier. It was about a teen aged girl named Marci who was fat, and did not feel she was attractive her mother comfort her with food ever since she was a little girl causing her to weighs 250lbs.
   Marci was home schooled for years living a sheltered life and wanted to go away to college, but    Marci wanted to change before she did. Marci struggled and broke down a few times during the show, but in the end she did it and lost 90lbs in 89 days.
   Marci was glowing of new confidence the night she went out and even danced with a guy (I believe that we all do need to be reassured and complemented each day to keep low self-esteem away from our thoughts) Marci must also learn that diets do not work, and her weight must be maintained by watching what she eats, and how much she is consuming each day to keep her new body. 
   Although diets do not work she could cut out or back on the things that are not healthy for her, and can become addicting causing her to become over weight again college students are known to have high stress levels causing depression, and over eating.
   Still the best part of this episode was watching a young woman who had no confidence open and grown right before my eyes gaining the self esteem she has always dreamed of having (this is a show all young people should watch so they can gain courage to go out and do the same thing Marci did).
