10 Resons Why People Love Facebook: #4 Feeling Popular
It's a fact that everyone wants to feel popular, to feel like everyone loves them and is thinking of them all the time. We like to think of ourselves as the center of attention with everybody focusing on us. We want to count our friends and know just how loved we are. But realistically life doesn't give us the opportunity to count our friends and our friends often forget our birthdays or don't really pay attention to what we say.
Facebook is changing all of that. Now we can count our "friends" with an actual device and see the hundreds or even thousands of people we have ever connected with, even for a casual meeting of chance. Everything we have to say is there for everyone to read and acknowledge. And let's not forget the like button. With a simple click our friends acknowledge what we say even if they really just couldn't care less about it. Facebook even reminds our friends when our birthdays are so that they can post a quick generic message to our walls with a casual "happy b-day." And who doesn't love getting hundreds of birthday messages on their wall?
With Facebook we can feel loved because the things our "friends" would normally find hard or out of their way to do are that much easier with Facebook and are just part of our daily Facebooking routine. We can literally count our friends- whether they are really our friends or not- and we can feel oh so popular. And who doesn't love to feel popular?
