The Social Network Addiction
For months, my family, friends and colleagues have prodded me to set up a Facebook account. I'll admit it—I've been resisting. Not because it intimidated me, but rather because I know myself way too well.

MODERN SALON MEDIA set up pages for all its editors this week, and last night at 2 a.m. I finally logged on and completed my profile. Then I trolled for friends for a while. Before I knew it, it was 4 a.m.
This morning when I started work, I had 20 new friends. By evening, I was up to 50. I connected with old high school friends, relatives, and, of course, salon owners around the country. Every time I walked away from the computer, I'd catch myself creeping back to see if anyone new ‘friended' me. I can't say I got much else accomplished all day long.
All this time, I've avoided Facebook, because it's way too addicting!
