Most people who listen to or read the news have heard of Facebook or MySpace. But have you heard of ListenToYourWife or AlternativeEnergy? If people are interested in it then somewhere out in cyberspace there is a social network for it (or in the process of being launched). I think it's great but I hesitate to join anymore. I'm probably a member of at least five social networks. I probably visit one regularly (and I have links to the other four on it). But I visit the others maybe once every couple of months. I often wonder if one day I will find that one of my accounts is disabled because of lack of use (I think at least one should be-I haven't gone past registering for it).
Networking is important for work, learning and relationships. But how much is too much? Will the social networks keep growing until several come up with so many awesome apps the others can no longer compete? Or will new ones keep appearing everyday? Will my Facebook account still work when I'm 60? It better! Just think of all the friends I could collect over several decades. Would you want to lose all that contact information? No way! But how long will this go on (and for free!) ?
