Time Machine app calculates lost days, hours and minutes spent on Facebook
A new app coinciding with the tenth anniversary of Facebook has been published by Time magazine which promises to calculate how much time people have wasted on the social networking site over that period – down to the nearest minute.
When activated the app scuttles through a user’s timeline, logging timestamps on posts until it reaches the earliest, from this the app outputs a screen displaying the total number of days, hours and minutes spent interacting with the site since joining.
As a useful yardstick to see how you measure up Facebook currently claims to have 1.1bn users, each of whom spend an average of 17 minutes a day trawling the site.
