Is Facebook too powerful in the world today?

Well its hard to say not everyone has heard of Facebook, but with it just being a social-network is it too powerful in the way it is ran and becoming.

We get facebookaholics (or whatever you want to call them or yourselves), these people depend on Facebook for living.

Facebook is another obsession, I got rid of it. People where making huge fuss on trivial posts, they created fights in my posts, and I just don't give a damn who is sad, who is in a relationship and who broke up.

That's why I just update my Vampirefreaks, My Youtube and my Deviantart, not to mention this awesome site :)

After I leave FB it seems my grades went up and I have more time to me :)

I think people give Facebook too much credit - and too much attention these days. Its a quirky service - it has security issues, it as fans and haters - just like every other consumer tech innovation. It's just a website, it has no power on its own. We grant it access, power into our lives.
