TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Facebook is the largest social media today. It has reached its 10th anniversary since it was launched on February 4, 2004. Users have totaled to 1.1 billion people.


To celebrate its 'birthday', TIME website launched a timer application to monitor the use of the Mark Zuckerberg’s social media app.


TIME reviewed the app in the article "How Much Time Have You Wasted on Facebook?" which can be accessed by clicking next. Then, the application will ask for the user’s email or phone number and password.


The application will display how much time a person spends in one day browsing Facebook. Besides the daily counter, the application also monitors hours and minutes of usage.


To start the countdown, users can click start and the application will start counting down from the day the user sets up an account. It also shows how many posts and data the user has.


The total count will not appear in the Home page of a person’s account. However, there is a share button which users can click to share to Facebook and Twitter if the user wants to share the information with others.
