"Help! My wife is addicted to Facebook, and she can't get up!"

The past few months since I introduced her to Facebook, she's been hooked. She sits on the sofa with her laptop, the television turned on, with her Blackberry and remote control by her side, and a tall glass of iced tea, and sits there all morning, all afternoon, all night long.

The reason why are all the games on Facebook. Stuff like Mafia Wars, Sorority, Bejeweled, et al. There's about 20 games that she actively plays.

She has partnered up with the neighboring wives on our block. There's like four or five wives on our street and they all play against each other, or with each other, on Facebook.

Facebook is the king of stickiness.

Twitter, on the other hand, is for geeks.

That is, geeks like me, Internet professionals, who want to communicate and follow those who have good ideas, and can share some cool links.

Facebook is for the general populace, while Twitter still seems to serve the hard core net geeks.

But, it's all changing. Twitter is quickly gaining acceptance into the general populace, and soon it too will be integrated into online gaming, online dating, etc., etc., etc.

While my wife is seemingly hooked on Facebook, at least she's not complaining about being bored.

In a way, it's cheaper for husbands like me, because she's not spending all my money at the shopping mall.  ✓
