Social Networking Fatigue and Information Overload

Chris Williams from The Register claims that people are getting bored with social networking. In a fairly critical article, Chris mentions several indicators that people are getting social networking overload.

If you’re suffering from Social Networking Fatigue, or Information Overload in general, check out a lifehacking site for advice. Lifehack.org has a post on how to deal with information overload that may be useful for you.

If you’re like me, a bit tired of having too many options in social networking, and not seeing the point of all of them, try defining your own Personal Social Media Strategy. A Personal Social Media Strategy is a process to structure your use of social media.

  • Identify your social media objectives.
  • Identify your current social media channels and prioritize based on your objectives.
  • Locate potential other / new channels and social media functionality that may help your objectives.
  • Create a strategy and plan for spending time and resources on social media, from your prioritized list of social media.
  • Follow up regularly to make sure you use your time wisely.

What’s your perspective? Post your comments here or on the Personal Social Media Strategy page.
