Raise your hand if you have social media overload. My hand is held high, even if you can’t tell by the illustrated headshot next to this column.
A maddening array of social media networks has popped up in recent years, targeting your tastes and even your aspirations. They include sites for food lovers (Yelp), music fans (Last.fm), long-forgotten kindergarten classmates (Facebook), spoiled children of wealthy parents (A Small World), job seekers (LinkedIn), Brazilians (Orkut) and lovers of short-form witty banter (Twitter). Then there are the social networks that were once the cat’s meow—MySpace and Friendster—that have fallen so far out of social standing that no one in their right mind would risk their virtual reputation by hanging out there anymore.
