Are you a Facebook Addict? Do you spend countless hours searching for friends, sending messaging, poking your buddies and doing various other things which make you happy.  FB Addict is a new application developed by Londoner, Adam that enables users to check their Facebook addiction.

The initially proposed criterion by Adam for this application is:
- Entering your gender - did you select your sex?
- Being part of a network - are you part of at least one network on Facebook?
- Recency of profile editing - how many days is it since you last updated your profile?
- Filling all of your profile - how many of the optional fields (eg TV shows, music, etc) did you fill in?
- Having a popular wall - how many posts have you got on your Facebook wall?
- Posting lots of notes - how many times have you posted a note to your Facebook profile?

All these points have a “weight” towards creation of an overall addiction score.
Like Nick says in his post, there seems to be scope for improvement in the Facebook Addict application. Parameters like no. of hours spent on Facebook can be used instead of weight being given to Gender etc.

Those of your who want to take the application for a spin do check it out here.
