Facebook

I refused to join Facebook at the beginning.Why? Because I don't really need one.As simple as that.
Then, after a certain time of period,i thought that this Facebook thing will just gone with the wind,means, it just a temporary "in" thing that when it reached a certain time period,it will be forgotten.
I was totally wrong when I realised that, there are more and more people joined the Facebook,even our own Prime Minister!.That is more like an indicator actually to me as how popular is the Facebook to Malaysian people.
Facebook is a phenomenal.But i dont think that those in the U.S. are into this Facebook thing.It seems they are more into Twitter.I'm not so sure about it but I hardly heard people there went like ''have you checked your Facebook today?" but most that I've heard was "have you got the news from twitter?".
Now, do I have a Facebook account?Yup, I do.I've joined Facebook early last month, just to give it a try and guess what, I am addicted to it since then!.
My perception towards Facebook: Happening and very interactive!It is more like a virtual place to chat and hang out with your friends.Sounds fun right?
There are few things that captured my attention.The first one is the use of full names!.At first, I wonder, is it a must or what since most of my friends are using their full names for their Facebook.I've figured out that one.I think, it might due to the sign up process.At the beginning, you are required to fill in your full names right?No nicknames required.So,from that, all of these people,including me are using our full names!Surprisingly, we seems comfortable with it.We don't feel like to alter it by changing it back to our nicknames.Supposedly,nicknames are something that is very synonim with virtual sites.Most of us prefer not to reveal our full names in such virtual way.But Facebook managed to make us change our mind.Don't you think so?
Another one is the layout.The layout is just the same for everyone as if we are equally same in term of our taste and preferences in color, theme and setting.This is something that is really, really good.To me, i find this as something like" we are all the same, no matter who we are and what we are".A very good message from Facebook.Interesting right?

Definitely, for the time being, Facebook is the best.That is my personal opinion.Thumbs up to Facebook!
