But it's losing its appeal, and I may be able to devote a reasonable amount of time to it now.<br /><br />I was on Twitter for a while but got off -- too much of a blatant time suck for me.

It was awesome! At first (and I guess you can still do this if you're in school) you could put in exactly what classes you were in (section #s and teachers and all) and you could see the profiles of everyone in your class...so it was the ULTIMATE stalker tool! See a cute guy in Bio? Facebook him right there to see if hes single or not! It was insane. <br /><br />I still use facebook frequently (as RunningLaur said) its the only way I can keep up with people I dont live near. But I dont share my FB page with people I dont know "in real life" (for the most part) because it has my work info and other stuff on there. (Can never be too careful)<br /><br />But I do love Twitter...I got into that once I started blogging and I love it! Once you get into it and start following people you will be hooked!<br /><br />Blogging does take up a ton of time (thats why Ive been MIA recently) but when I have the time to do it I would say its the biggest time suck.Kristin @ The Southern Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13921715080792514293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227255018368201079.post-33134336783722497372009-07-16T09:16:13.555-07:002009-07-16T09:16:13.555-07:00Gotta work, exercise and read, so blogger is the o...Gotta work, exercise and read, so blogger is the only internet time sink - except for reading the news.Looneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15801436449971512320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227255018368201079.post-18949902922903252732009-07-16T07:55:30.006-07:002009-07-16T07:55:30.006-07:00have reconnected with a lot of old friends through...have reconnected with a lot of old friends through FB, so I'm grateful for it... joined twitter, but i don't feel like i do anything exciting enough to be updating very often. i find most of my time is spent reading blogs though, but like you, love it... and best thing i could have done :)Mel-2nd Chanceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040126521403230005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227255018368201079.post-81555692373964178112009-07-16T02:38:25.357-07:002009-07-16T02:38:25.357-07:00I've heard a lot about facebook, but never tri...I've heard a lot about facebook, but never tried it.

I don't have anything other - no FB or whatever. I merely think people use FB to collect people and tell themselves they have 500 friends. I rather invest that time caring about the few close friends I have and truly care about and actually "see" them.

It's not so much of a time suck for me. I'm still not on Twitter, and that's on purpose. I don't need one more thing I have to keep track of. <br /><br />The only thing about Facebook is that it took me a while to get used to it. I would be on line on Facebook checking my messages and a guy from my distant past always wanted to chat. I would always log off. The guy creeped me out. He was almost stalkerish and made a couple of inappropriate comments, which I deleted. I'm OK with the yearly Christmas card from the family, but I want to leave it at that. I think he finally got the hint.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163803961338323135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227255018368201079.post-65789922804989046732009-07-15T19:06:08.325-07:002009-07-15T19:06:08.325-07:00my time waster is blogging, my wife's is faceb...my time waster is blogging, my wife's is facebook....Oz Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708432336187308653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227255018368201079.post-10120197612931270252009-07-15T18:14:04.515-07:002009-07-15T18:14:04.515-07:00and to answer your question, my biggest time suck ...and to answer your question, my biggest time suck is ebay!!
