Social Nightmare
There is a bit of a voyeur and exhibitionist in every one of us.
With Facebook, there is an almost constant need to "status update". To let people know what you're doing, how you're feeling, where you went, what you ate for lunch, how cold the weather is, why you're feeling happy or mad, which concert you attended, how late you worked last night, and so on.
Practically every move you make, if there is Internet access there and then, chances are all your online friends will know.
What is scary sometimes, and I'm also guilty of that too, is that we tend to put our private thoughts as our status updates. Thoughts we would probably not say out loud if there wasn't Facebook. And the reason we wouldn't say is out loud in the first place is like I mentioned, it is private. I believe when some private thoughts get into public exchanges, they could lead to misunderstandings.
That explains why Facebook is so popular.
