Some people are giving up social networking for Lent
If you’re giving up chocolate and swearing for Lent and think it will be a hard slog, you’re not alone. Siliconrepublic.com has had a trawl through Twitter to see what people are giving up during the 40 days before Easter.
Chocolate, swearing, coffee, fast food and even social media are the most popular vices Twitter users are vowing to stay away from starting tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, until Easter Sunday on 8 April. Here’s a sampling:
Cramming in as many biscuits as I can today because I’m giving them up for 40 days.
