Remember my post on Twitter Timewasters? Well, that’s been taken to a whole new level. It’s a new time waster that tracks how much time you’ve lost to Twitter.
Tweetwaster assumes each tweet takes you 30 seconds. It multiplies that by your overall number of tweets. It then lets you know how many days and hours you’ve lost creating tweets. Of course, it doesn’t take into account the time you’ve spent reading everyone else’s tweets, so I say just factor another day or two in there.
I would like to point out that I have a life, despite what this silly app might say. Obviously, it’s all in good fun. How much time have you wasted on Twitter?

So are we saying here that Twitter is a addiction and not to be used as it *wastes* our precious time. Is Twittering a waste ? I don’t think so. Meet and come to know so much. In fact during the recent #mumbai attack, I in fact completely got all information via Twitter. That to faster than Old media.
Arjun – I’m the first to admit that Twitter is amazingly useful in any number of ways, from getting news out first or marketing your business to getting to know your community better.
You’ll notice one of the last sentences of the post is “all in good fun.” Tweetwasters, created by 2 folks who happen to really like Twitter, is just a light app poking fun at Twitter, that’s all. The results, as seen in the screenshot, are very tongue in cheek.
