Sit back, relax, and let me entertain you with my silly guide to Bangkok.

More Friends, More Money Theory

Facebook, Hi5, Twitter, to MySpace has become a part of our lives one way or another, it's a way for you to keep in touch with your friends and family. Meghan Daum recently wrote an article in LA Times about a friendaholism, "I'm wondering if the joke is on me. Is her salary 2% higher for every extra friend she has on Facebook?"

If the theory is actually true, every random person you add actually has value to your salary then I guess some Facebook addicts can rest at peace in front of their screen adding more 'friends' when they are not even friends.  Social networking sites is no doubt a great tool for marketing but how personal can you get with people online when you can actually take time and get to know them in person and build a '3D-face-to-face' relationship just incase Twitter server goes down one day.

"As depressing as that is, it's hardly surprising. In the mind of the friendaholic, having one friend you can count on apparently just isn't as fun as having thousands of friends to count up," said Maghan. Facebook is definitely fun especially when I am bored at 1 a.m. in the morning but to actually have a sole purpose of having-the-most-friends-on-Facebook, is still a very far to be formed concept for me.

Maybe we might make more sales through being more active online but as for me, nothing beats personal relationship and by that I mean a person I can actually walk with on the street of Bangkok rather than on Second Life.
