It's a euphoria everywhere.
No it's just another blimp in the every trendy lifestyle of the Pinoy and it's what the Americans invented called Facebook. Yes ladies and gentlemen it has been around and no it is not the sister network of the ever-Pinoy-popular Friendster (although their separation is only three degrees).
According to thedigitalfilipino.com, Philippines-based users yields around 611,000 to 612,000 logon everyday since March 1. Majority of that are women at 353,000. Majority of that are in the age group - 18 to 34 years old (around 260,000). Dominant are college students or yuppies at 18-24 years old (around 150,000++). The same age group dominates on the male segment as well. The growth of Facebook users in the Philippines is still low in comparison to Friendster which has an estimated 13 million active users. Although it is growing noting that there were 489,420 users as of February 4 from 353,740 last November 27, 2008.
It's like planting a new crop for the next season. Like changing underwear in a society who just awakened to the constraints of having one undergarment.
And people here in this country think they are the first? Please. You're just second hand users.
Then there is this problem rising. That there are too many nonsense bugs now infiltrating Facebook. Don't they know that when Pinoys know something and think it's hip, they will clog the system with all crap?
Remember Friendster six years ago? Look at it now. It's a Filipino dump. Hala sige kahit walang pera basta maparami ang friends.
Now, it's still the same routine with Facebook. With the addition of petty addicting cute games that are designed for 5th graders.
But honestly, I prefer Facebook. Hey, I'm still Pinoy. I still have the "i-need-to-have-it-'coz-everyone-is-having-it". Besides. I always like to give comments-unsolicited or not./KP
