Escapee: Facebook Is Ultimate Time Eater

Escapee: Facebook is a time-eater…it all starts when Facebook asks, “What's on your mind”, and you post there, maybe share a foto, perhaps read what yer friends have said, and if they post something cool, you'll give it a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, and then you do the same for every one of your friends, and then one of those friends wants to chat with you for a while so you do that, and then there's a cool Facebook group you wanna belong to, so you join the group, then you answer a few (or many) Facebook Poll questions, and all of a sudden it's 2 in the morning and you haven't checked your main in-box yet, and then, oh my, you need to post something on your own blogsite, and after you're done with all that, it's 4:30am and you cuss out yourself royally for getting sucked-in by the Facebook machine.

Question: Do you agree w/Escapee that Facebook is the ultimate time waster? Or do you have a bigger time waster in your life? Or do you consider Facebook worth the time you spend on it?
