If the statistics are to be believed, the modern-day digital savvy user spends a lot of time on social media in general and on Facebook in particular. Somehow time “wasted” is judged differently for different platforms. It seems that two hours spent on LinkedIn is seen as productive (because we are doing business), but on Facebook it being frowned upon. Pinterest is not a clear-cut case.
