Since the past couple of days I have been talking about things that I do when I am procrastinating, I shall mention a current time suck that almost everyone knows about...FACEBOOK! Do you want to hear some statistics for the most popular social networking site today? No? I’m going to give them to you anyway. (These are statistics related to being a time suck.)
-more than 300 million active users
-50% of active users log onto Facebook on any given day
-more than 8 billion minutes are spent on Facebook each day (worldwide)
-more than 45 million status updates each day
-more than 2 billion photos uploaded to the site each month
-more than 2 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photos, etc.) shared each week
-people that use Facebook on their mobile devices are almost 50% more active on Facebook than non-mobile users (although this would not be true for everyone because applications are not present on mobile Facebook, which can be a big time suck.)
I am a victim of the Facebook bug in which I check it every day. If I did not have wireless internet everywhere I went on campus, then I would have Facebook on my phone. I am also a victim of the Farmville bug, but I will not discuss that today as I have written enough for today’s post and I have other work to do.
Until next time, keep fit and have fun.
