My SpaceBook Logger Tweets

My Space, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Orkut, Hi5, Fotolog. I am pretty sure these are the only social networks I have a log-in account. However I only use Facebook and Twitter on a daily basis. I am ashamed to say that I spend probably about 30 minutes every day with these sites, which comes out to about 3-4 hours a week.

I have a couple of scientific theories about these sites, which are based 90% on my gut feeling. In other words it is probably 100% correct.

- Single people spend at least 5 times more time than people in relationships.
- Women waste a lot more time than men.
- There is a direct inverse relationship between the amount of time spent on Facebook with how well your relationship is doing. In other words, the more time you spend checking this site, the faster downhill your current relationship is going.

Here's factual (my gut) numbers of what women do on Facebook.
. 10% - reading about what their good friends are doing. And responding to their comments.
. 15% - reading what about the people they dislike are doing and very importantly, wearing.
. 25% - what boyfriend is doing (if applicable)
. 20% - checking up on ex-boyfriends (if no current boyfriend, add 35% from above to this section)
. 30% - looking at pictures of ex-boyfriends current girlfriends.

And here's the percentile for men.
. 10% - reading what their good friends are doing. And responding to their comments.
.90% - Looking at hot girls that they may know or want to know. Befriending them. Acting really witty and funny to impress them.

Now that I have established these facts. The question of what value would I put on these sites. Personally I do not believe I would care if it just went away. When I log in it is exclusively for lack of better things to do. If these sites would charge a fee, regardless of how inexpensive, I would not pay.

However I believe I am in the minority on this. I do believe there is a large number of people (single) whom spend much more time than I on these sites. These people would pay a small fee annually or monthly for their log in access.
