I was wondering how much bloggers love this website.
I spend maybe up to 15 minutes here depends on the discussion I find. What about you guys?

I reload all day. Over and over and over again. I do that with a few other forums, too, in between blog posts.

Too much time, sometimes.

I haven't logged it, but I've spent over a couple hours with BlogCatalog on one tab, checking in at intervals of a few minutes to see how discussions have gone.

  Nice confession. I think the last time I completely turn off my computer was 4 months ago… however I used to be a mybloglog user since I discover blogcatalog who is way much better.

I don't know, but my hands go numb and my mind is saying "go to the fridge and get something to drink. Only I am too tired from blogging and being here. Its a tough site to pass up when the community here is awesome. We write reviews for other bloggers and we prefer to choose from the folks here over any other site. You guys and girls really appreciate it. So, I am thursty, but have no will power to get up and do anything about it. Take care.

I normally have the page open, while doing other things online. I come back to read the discussions and then glance over at my adsense Firefox addon to see if i made a penny and then get Depressed again , then I rant in here like now.
This could be off an on for hours. I gota get some more Audio Books, i feel like i know u people...

5 to 20 minutes a day, but generally not all at once.

I have Blog Catalog, three (sometimes four) different email accounts, a couple of my forums from work, and a couple of different IM programs, and Bloglines pretty much open at all times. Fortunately, I'm an excellent multi-tasker and learned (after working from home for years for multiple clients with children in the house) can switch gears very quickly.

  Yep, that's exactly what I do, too: Several email accounts, a few forums -- including BC, a handful of other (mostly news) sites open in tabs all day long. Whenever I have a break in doing the real stuff, I check in on the forums etc.

I just read some of the comment and looks like none of you actually turn off their computer... I though I was the only one feel good to see I’m not alone

  Blacky, I make my living in Internet marketing, so I scarcely get the OPPORTUNITY to turn off my computer! Sometimes, I wouldn't mind a bit...

Waaay too long. I find it mildly addictive. But I agree with Lisa, it's a great community, my favorite by far, and it is worth it.

What other forums do people hit up? I like blog catalog the most right now, but haven't posted on any others very much.

I am here a lot. I check BlogCatalog several times on the weekends and once a night on weekdays.

Could this be our equivalent to a MySpace addiction?

  Ha! I agree, Blackysky. Perhaps we all need a B.A. (Bloggers Anonymous)?

  This is my little confession I did one week without no computer thx to Mickey mouse and Disneyland :). The last day was like a smoker without no cigarette I think …( I don’t smoke)

Since I joined last weekend quite a bit. If I'm on the computer this site is tabbed and I'm popping in and out every few minutes.

I would say 10-20 minutes...every time I log into BC. Which would be more than five times and less than 30 times per day. I need to get a life.

I'm ashamed to say that I'm getting really addicted to this place. I post on several other message boards, have for years, and have some really good friends, but something about this place is just so addictive.

I used to come around more often, but now I am so busy and feel bad about community responsibilities here.

Some days BC is on in the background so it could be hours. Other days I don't even visit the site. I think the most amount of time I would say if I were to just sit down and use Blog Cat like you are supposed to....30 to 45 minutes two or three times a week.

This site works because it is laid out nice. Nothing too flashy. Everything is simple to use.
