On Social Networking burnout
My friend CC Chapman, a super smart podcaster, just posted a episode of his Managing the Gray podcast about social networking sites. A listener inquired on CC’s views on “social networking burnout,” and CC’s response is an excellent rundown on how he uses each site.
To be honest, how he does it is how I do it, right down to the marking “read all” on Bloglines (when even I bother to check it, these days). I think that most adult “civilian” social networking junkies use these social networking sites the same way, but for students and kids it would be very, very different. It’s interesting to consider the differences in use of the technology by different audiences, and ponder how those cultural differences will transfer into library service and program offerings, online *and* offline.
It’s an excellent example of how one person with Web 2.0 know-how wrangles all the accounts, deals with consuming all the content, keeps in touch with all the people, and uses each site for different purposes. Worth a listen, totally.
