Americans Spend 53 Billion Minutes A Month On Facebook

Americans spend more time on Facebook than any other US website. And cumulatively, it’s not a small amount of time, it’s a lot of time. Nielsen estimates that Americans spent 53 billion minutes on Facebook during the month of May.

These 53 billion minutes are equal to 100,000 years or 36.8 million days. Before your mind blows up, this number represents the usage of 150 million Facebook users. Breaking it down, each user is spending about 350 minutes per month on the social network or about 10 minutes per day. Looking at it that way, 53 billion doesn’t look so bad, does it?

    It does make you wonder though what could be acheived if all those people (and us Aussies too I’m sure) just 10 minutes of their time to something worthwhile

        Fingering yourself doesn’t prevent prostate cancer.

      Because speaking to your friends and keeping in touch with distant relatives isn’t worthwhile. right Nath?
