Are You A Victim Of Social Sites Fatigue?

Social sites have brought an amazing way people can interact and share information virtually from all corners of the globe. Applications such as instant messaging and chat rooms have become a hype. People are spending much of their time online sharing information about themselves, their hobbies, their interests, work, pets and almost everything. According to a recent survey, majority of the social networking individuals belongs to more than one networking site. A good fraction will have multiple accounts and the number keeps piling up.

When people get engulfed in a bunch of social networking sites, what they are actually after is to try out various choices and see which meets up their closest needs. Eventually, you are not likely to let off go some accounts; even after finding a favorite “joint”. You are left to wonder what to do with them. And since you had established some bond with the networks, you find it hard to dump them. Mostly, you are likely to run them all; and this is where social networking fatigue kicks in. With time you lose motivation and yearning to online participation.

There may be some value that you are getting from social networking; and therefore, you are not ready to keep off. To avoid social sites fatigue you need to have focus and balance. What do you want out of it? Once you have a focus; whether business or personal, you need not go out of your focus. You may start by trying out a number of them so that you can establish the one that suits you best according to your focal point. Settle on it and build a solid network and forget everything else. By this you will bring value to yourself without exhaustion.

You need to have some sense of balance with various interactions that you will be having in your network. For instance, while it is fine with sharing out with others, there are some lines that you are not supposed to cross. You don’t need to share everything with anyone. You need to keep a balance of what you are giving out and what you haven’t. The fun of social surfing is not about giving a whole bunch of your stuff to people. Just give what is just fine about yourself, your interests, your hobbies and your expertise and so on. If you have to give more “self” details, be more careful. So go ahead and have some fun online diligently.
