Beating Facebook addiction - cold turkey style
Facebook, like cigarettes, coffee, drugs and alcohol, can be addictive. And like substance abuse you might need a little help to ditch your Facebook dependence. FAddict is a site that works the same way as Quitline. Sort of. The first step is deactivating
your account, the next is forking out $5 to the site. For the next 30 days, FAddict will randomly check to ensure that your account is not activating by using your profile's URL.
If during those 30 days, they catch you on Facebook, you forfeit your money, which will be donated to Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
They will also publish the names of those currently taking the challenge on its front page divided into two lists - those who've successfully gone 30 days without logging on to Facebook, and those that didn't make it. (Source: The Daily Dot)
