About once every 10 minutes, a girl—usually a teenage girl—tweets about her complicated, intense, time-sucking relationship with the social shopping site Wanelo. “Safe to say I’m addicted,” says @_MaryBeth1. “I see so many things I want on Wanelo but then I get sad I’m never going to buy them,” says @jesstoci. “Wanelo is kinda the reason I have no money,” adds @ayeitskellay.
