I have no great insights beyond that headline. I just spent about 15 to 25 minutes updating my profiles on LinkedIn and Twitter, checking my Facebook news feed and glancing — but not committing — to the chatter that filters through on Google Buzz.
Sometimes I think of checking up on all those virtual hangouts I once used frequently but then I get tired thinking of how that will only add to an already overwhelming flow of content. When I use Yelp, for instance, it’s via the iPhone app and only to find nearby restaurants. I rarely use Yelp’s website and it’s been three years since I wrote a Yelp review. (I just checked.) That’s probably why I only have 6 Yelp friends. And MySpace? Does that still exist?
I enjoy social media and I like to participate, but keeping up can be tiring. I suspect most people are like me: you end up hanging out at just a few places and keep going back to those. There, that’s my great insight.

I think you’re either a FB person, a Twitterer or a LinkedIn. And LinkedIn people are mostly Republicans b/c that site is all about the benjamins.
Yeah, it’s like you’re either a cat person or a dog person. You either Twitter or FB because nobody can do both if they’re lucky enough to have a job.
