here's who i've noticed gets on facebook the most:

not necessecelery in any order:

-unemployed graduates
-young, married wives
-nosy adults
-bored workers


do people feel the need to update everyone on what they're doing all the time? Some people do. What did young, married couples (wives) do about sharing wedding photos before there was facebook and flickr? How would anyone know that Sarah is visiting her best friends in the world?! REUNION, or that Johnny wishes he didn't have to go to work.

Believe me, i'm a bored worker right now, but once i stop being a bored worker, i'll spend a lot less time on facebook. Its not as though i spend hours on it now. But, since I have been on it during the peak hours of the working day 8am - 5pm... the conversations, and wall posts, and photo album edits, etc. that i have noticed are absolutely by mostly people in these categories (save the last, i just mention bored workers ... because they are the simple observers, with a rare comment here and there)

I don't know what's creepier... adults who are on facebook too much, or young single dudes that are on facebook too much? I think both might believe that a relationship may be kindled thereupon.

I also don't know what's greater... productivity (profits, revenues, and earned value) lost by a corporation who allows facebook to be accessed, or the hours wasted by the 4 aforementioned groups on facebook, when they could all be doing more productive things...

but then again... when has productivity and work ever been more fun than viewing vacation and "summer 2k8" photos?
