And with the ability to share news, pictures and videos with family and friends at once, it can make juggling your social life a whole lot easier. It can be very addictive, though, so here are the top 8 signs that you’re addicted to Facebook...

As well as knowing exactly how many friends you have (as well as whether they are male or female, and what percentage is family) you also know exactly how many friends your boyfriend, exboyfriend, and best friend have.

If anyone gets more friends then you, then you trawl through their friends list, and add anyone and everyone. And then add people from poker, and Farmville, and Mafia Wars...who cares if you don’t know them, will never speak and live in different time zones?!

You forget that today is your best friends birthday until Facebook reminds you. When you send a virtual hug, a poke and harvest her farm for her. What more could she want!? If she’s lucky, you might even make her a Facebook cake...

You realize that you’ve just spent the last two hours looking at the pictures of someone that you’ve never met, and it’s been weeks since you’ve been outside the house. There’s just not enough hours in the day now you’ve got a whole Facebook universe to look after...
Facebook is far too addictive...I’ve got friends that disappear for weeks when they log on! But come on, how many of us don’t have Facebook open right now? Have you thought of a clue that shows you’re too addicted to Facebook? Please let me know! In the meantime, I’m off to feed my chickens...
