That logic may be even worse than my Tiobe logic...
Time was wasted anyway, people now just do it on Facebook.

It's like the music industry.
NOT every (illegal) download is a lost sale!
Many people who download would never buy a CD anyway.

And so not every minute spent on Facebook is a lost working minute!
Those people wouldn't have worked that minute one way or another...
Well, I guess the article does mention it.
Visit my blog at Sander's bits - Writing the code you need.
Or read my articles at my CodeProject profile.
Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability.
