Deepening FB leads to Rising FB activity

Have you felt the FB (financial brunt) of the economic crisis that looks to be worsening by the day? The economists have been hard at work and seem to chorus that things are going to get much worse before it gets better. But the growing revelation of just how bad this recession will be may have some payoff on FB (Facebook) activity.


With more time on your hands, less work in your In Tray, and less money in your pocket, the economist in me predicts a steady rise in online activity on the popular, free-access social networking website Facebook. Will it see a tapering of? Not anytime soon.

With layoffs expect to climb especially after the Lunar New Year, times are bad. Consequently, I predict more action on FB for these reasons:
- there'll be more postings of people's status expressing victimisation of the global downturn
- there'll be more interest in finding out how your friends are coping and if they're in the pool of the latest round of company layoffs
- there'll be a rise in the number of notes being written in reflection of the sweeping effect of the recession
- there'll be a hike in messages, wall scribbles and the sending of virtual gifts as friends rally to lend moral support and encouragement to those deeply affected
- moods will increasingly swing from :o) to :o(

Facebook keeps people in touch and is a wonderful tool for friends and family to band together to ride out the turbulence together.
