Narcissists Identifiable by Their Facebook Profiles

Two psychologists at the University of Georgia say it's POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY NARCISSISTS FROM THEIR FACEBOOK PROFILES. They say the more friends and wall posts on a profile, the more narcissistic the person. One of the researchers says, "Narcissists are also more likely to choose glamorous, self-promoting pictures for their main profile photos, she said, while others are more likely to use snapshots." Narcissists love Facebook, they say, because it allows them to maintain "numerous yet shallow relationships."

Unless it is for professional reasons, isn't having ANY kind of Facebook page narcissistic?

People who are not online are not easily reachable and end loosing lots of social activities that people organize online.

being offline is turning as bad as not having a mobile phone.
