Facebook Guilt

I have a mild case of Facebook guilt.
Everytime I sign in through those familiar blue and white doors I can't help but feel the weight of photos that I haven't yet uploaded, the comments I haven't made, the events I haven't RSVP'd to, the status's I haven't "liked" and worst of all the friend suggestions that I've ignored for months now!

For all my good intentions facebook is a purely selfish experience. the first thing I look for is the little red flag. A symbol signaling that my face or my words have captured the attention of millions of users around the globe. For a moment in time I am interested, clicking links with the excitement of a web developer.

However, once I've exhasted the links on my little red flag the world slows down again. I return to the Facebook trance, aimlessly looking through photos of people I haven't spoken to since I met them and reading about the breakup of relationships I didn't know existed in the first place.

According to the home page: Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life -here comes that guilting feeling again.
