This is a simple question, because I want to see if there is a collective tendency to do this:

How much time do you spend snooping around in StackOverflow, Programmers, and all those heavenly sites even when having work on the desk?

Are these sites becoming facebook, in our case? I used to enter facebook from time to time... it's been like 20 days now and I dont even care about it. All I want to see is what are the latest post of my geeky friends around here..! Is this collective?
