8Feb 16, 2012 2:11 PMno because im learning
9Feb 16, 2012 12:49 PMIts a waste of time if you keep completley off track.
10Feb 16, 2012 11:27 AMSometimes—I often use it as a procrastination method.
11Feb 16, 2012 11:26 AMsometimes it is a waste of time because I am led down a path I have no interest in

13Feb 16, 2012 8:44 AM
14Feb 16, 2012 8:43 AMno
15Feb 16, 2012 7:41 AMSometimes other informational items can be distracting... it becomes hard to stay on task.
16Feb 16, 2012 7:41 AMMore often than not, it is a waste of time because I can get easily distracted from a project from an overload of information that may not be relevant. Also, it is frustrating.
17Feb 16, 2012 7:30 AMIt can be, but its a rabbit hole you can always back out of.

19Feb 16, 2012 7:04 AM
20Feb 16, 2012 7:00 AMNo, not really. You're learning and absorbing information which is better than a lot of other things I could be doing with my time.
21Feb 16, 2012 6:59 AMnope
22Feb 16, 2012 6:28 AM
23Feb 16, 2012 5:37 AMSometimes I find that the trip down the rabbit hole just ends with me covered in dirt, with a broken leg cowering in fright in a corner while an evil rabbit advances on me menacingly.
24Feb 16, 2012 5:30 AM
25Feb 16, 2012 5:25 AMYes because you may get totally distracted and never find what you were looking for in the first place!
26Feb 16, 2012 3:14 AMMore often I find it's a waste of time because it gets me off my track, and time is limited even to pensioners
27Feb 16, 2012 2:01 AMSometimes because i get obsessed about something that makes no difference in life
28Feb 15, 2012 10:20 PMIt depends what else i'm doing at the time, and what is at the bottom of the rabbit hole, sometimes its excellent.
29Feb 15, 2012 9:31 PMNo
30Feb 15, 2012 9:28 PM
31Feb 15, 2012 8:31 PMOccasionally I realize that I'm wasting time and need to get back on track.
32Feb 15, 2012 8:09 PM
33Feb 15, 2012 8:07 PM
34Feb 15, 2012 7:59 PMOnly in terms of the amount of time I can spend googling and reading (but I think it's worth it!) :)
35Feb 15, 2012 7:45 PMsometimes i end up feeling unproductive. It really depends on how much time.
36Feb 15, 2012 7:43 PMIt can eat up time if you planned to spend less time to begin with
37Feb 15, 2012 7:41 PMSometimes, but I find usually ideas come up again.
38Feb 15, 2012 7:38 PM
39Feb 15, 2012 7:33 PMUnless the information I need is urgent
40Feb 15, 2012 7:26 PMit's a waste of time if it had anything to do with justin bieber
41Feb 15, 2012 7:15 PM
42Feb 15, 2012 7:15 PMI need to get out more and breathe fresh air :) I am an Internet addict, I'm afraid.
43Feb 15, 2012 7:08 PM
44Feb 15, 2012 7:05 PMnot really, if I am gaining more knowledge
45Feb 15, 2012 7:01 PMBecause some rabbit holes are high noise low signal
46Feb 15, 2012 6:58 PM
47Feb 15, 2012 6:56 PMlose track, miss deadlines
48Feb 15, 2012 6:49 PM
49Feb 15, 2012 6:43 PMpossibly if i got sidetracked on something unrelated
