Today I saw that Dentyne commercial which is based around facebook. Even their slogan “make face time” is totally facebook orientated. I just find that so weird how a brand of gum is using facebook’s popularity to sell itself. At least the message is good. But it doesn’t stop there, Facebook is everywhere. Cell phone commercials advertising how now you can use Facebook on your phone. It’s all over the news too; the front page of the newspaper one day was about how a mother reunited with her lost children through facebook, and a news broadcast showed the facebook page of the student who brought a gun into my highschool. I even read a news article about a credit card company who used Facebook to notify a family of bankruptcy after all other efforts for communication failed. Does no one else find this crazy?
And yet… at the end of the day I find myself on Facebook. I keep saying I have to make a plan to cut back, but I don’t. I keep thinking I have to stop checking it from my phone every hour, but I don’t. When I’m on it, I keep telling myself I should log off soon, but I don’t.
Bottom line: no progress made.
