It seems like over the last month or so the news has been dominated by stories about social media. Ashton Kutcher reaching 1 million followers on Twitter, Oprah joining Twitter, Facebook making changes – the list goes on and on.

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a little social media detox. I have enough things in my life to worry about already without adding updating my Facebook page to the list. I’ve actually heard a person tell a friend to delete a digital photo that was just taken because “it was not Facebook-able.” (Pardon if that is misspelled, but I’m not even sure if it is a word!?!)

Not to completely write off social media – I do enjoy keeping in touch with friends and I have learned a thing or two from recommendations provided via social media outlets. It has also provided companies and organizations the opportunity to really connect with their customers and create communities. I just think some people have taken it to the extreme.

Case in point – CNN.com recently posted a story titled “Five Clues That You Are Addicted to Facebook.” Not going to lie, I laughed when I saw the headline, but after reading the story it seems that this is a legitimate problem for some people.

You can read the entire article for the full story, but to summarize, here is what CNN listed as the “Five Clues That You Are Addicted to Facebook”:

1. You lose sleep over Facebook.

2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook.

3. You become obsessed with old loves.

4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook.

5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in a cold sweat.

I would write some more commentary about the issue, but I need to go check my Facebook page.
