Maybe. The value attached to looking at friends' photos isn't nearly as high as that of finding solutions to just about every problem you'll encounter in your job. Ask yourself this: if you had to work for a year without Google or Facebook, which would you choose to give up? One provides answers for me daily. The other I visit far less than HN. One is active - I'm searching. The other is passive - I'm being amused. In the former, I'm more likely to be convinced to spend money. The latter...well, I haven't spent a cent yet.
