Addictaid

Revision #3ForkRecommend a Solution

 

Are you addicted to facebook? Should you be checking your wall, browsing photos and updating statuses less?  Addictaid is an application which monitors your Facebook usage and donates a small amount of your money to a charity every time you breach your Facebook usage-allowance. You'll be given a certain time-allowance, and every further 5 minutes will cost you $1.  At the end of the month, you'll receive a bill with instructions on how to pay the charity of your choice using PayPal. It's linked to your Facebook account so if you don't pay your bill then you'll receive reminders to pay on your Facebook wall.  It is implemented as a Chrome extension which measures the time users spend on Facebook by checking which tab is active, and also measuring the time since last click. There will also use Facebook Connect for access to the user's wall.
