Visualizing Social Media Fatigue
Our attention is stretched so thin these days that there are
times when I have actually tried to register for what I thought was a new
service only to realize later that I already had an account -- it just got lost
in the shuffle. With so many new web sites and services vying for our attention

social media junky living in Japan, thought it might be helpful to try to map
his social media usage. The result is a staggering view of how information we
put on the web flows.

"We have found that social networking inventory is not monetizing as well as expected." George Reyes, CFO of Google. From the Financial Times - Facebook Applications (Widgets) Decrease in Popularity
"All of the top 10 leaderboard applications have seen substantial drops in daily users since peaking in November and December,"
