Social Question

Do you find the amount of online social groups/sites you belong to over-whelming at times?

Asked by HGl3ee (3955points) January 25th, 2012

I am on Fluther, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, EvoXForums, and 9Gag. I feel like I’m always trying to keep up-to-date on these sites and it can become very daunting at times! Some days it can feel like a full time job… thank goodness I refuse to join Facebook otherwise I’d hardly exist off of my computer!

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the amount of internet media you try and keep up with?

Not really. I mainly use Fluther and YouTube. I have a presence on Facebook (mostly because most of my friends from Answerbag landed there after the “upgrade” a couple of years ago), but I don’t really go there often.

Nope. I fluther less often than I used to. I check FB mobile during the day so I don’t have to dedicate time specifically to Facebook, it’s just whenever I have a quick minute, and I go on xdTalk when I’m dropping a deuce.

No. I belong to Fluther and check Facebook once a day or so.

Crap, looks like so far it’s just me.. maybe it’s time to consider letting one or two of these go :)

I hardly have time for Fluther so I don’t get involved in any other sites. I love Fluther though. I am on Facebook but I hardly check it. Hell, some days I don’t even check my email.

Nope , I just use Fluther and askville,have nothing to do with facebook or Twitter.

I check Fluther and Facebook a lot, and maybe two other sites on a regular basis, in addition to email. I have joined other sites but rarely go to them, because I could imagine it getting overwhelming, and I don’t have time or energy for that.

I was slammed at work today, so other than a peek at Fluther and Facebook at 4:30 this morning, I was pretty much disconnected from them until 5 this evening. I feel like it took forever just to get caught up on FB, and I am way behind on Fluther. Thank goodness I kept current on email all day.

Nope, I have avoided them all with no consequences what so ever. I have three e-mail addresses, one blog, one newsfeed, one e-newspaper subscription, one personal journal, and four Q & A sites (counting Wikipedia).

Nope. I’m on Fluther every day, but I visit on my iPhone – so it’s whenever I get a free minute.

I have a Facebook page, but I only check for messages there once a week. And again, I do this on my iPhone.

Perhaps it’s time to pare down.

When I started working for Fluther, I dumped everything else except FB. I just couldn’t keep up, and it was starting to feel stressful when it should be fun, you know? Even keeping up with Facebook overwhelms me sometimes, and I just know I’m missing someone’s birthday or something.

No, I have a Twitter, Facebook and Fluther account and, in a usual day I check Twitter and Fluther once and Facebook, two or three times. I have considered joining other Q&A sites because I have always enjoyed them and whenever someone mentions one that I have never heard of I will always have a look around but, even though I have signed up to use others, I do think that it may get to the point where it is too much so I will probably only use Fluther until I out grow it or it closes!

I have also done some restaurant reviews on urbanspoon, and recently, I discovered a great design/craft community called Pinterest.
