Facebook: The Ultimate Time-Sink

"Back in June 2009, Nielsen estimated that the average U.S. user spent 4 hours and 39 minutes on Facebook per month. That's about 9.3 minutes per day in a 30 day month. In August, that number rose to 5 hours and 46 minutes, or 11.5 minutes per day."

How much time can you lose on the internet? A great deal it seems!

11 minutes? That's not much. I can spend more time than that just answering one question in Travel.

oooh, too much info there SE, I can't really get away with FB although I am in it, I spend a while in here, it's freezing outside and I can chat away to people, it's like a big living room with a log fire where you can converse or not with the people you choose to

I can spend a full working day on irrelevant websites looking at rubbish. Then when I get back to my block in the evening I carry on looking.

I always think it is a bit like a village pub...with a library.

It is rubbish Carabint. I couldn't agree more. At least people learn things here!

Jno - that is because you offer quality answers in travel. If it was facebook you'd just have to click a button which says "like" with a Thumbs Up next to it.

Of course games beat facebook hands down in terms of burning up time. Anyone who has played civilization will know how long "one more turn" takes...

Although games are potentially slightly more useful than facebook.

I sort of dip in and out throughout the day on here and my FB is on at home but I'm usually using it really unless my sister writes something on there for me or I'm playing Bubble Town which I do quite like, (it's like Bust a Move but with less skill involved).

I lose more time in absolutely pointless phonecalls and ridiculously unproductive tasks here actually.... When can I come work for you? Can you afford me yet?
