Bored With Social Media | Front Office Box

Regardless of what the numbers and pundits say there has to be a growing number of people who’re bored with Twitter, and Facebook and Linked In, plus all the others. Just take a tour around people you know and see how often they make updates.

Probably the reason is these sites are no longer niche. As soon as people like Eric Pickles, Chairman of the Conservative Party brag about their use of these things we know it’s gone mainstream, and boring.

But that’s only part of the reason (it seems to me). The rest is down to the (automated) – noise made by all these self appointed social media gurus, and their false bonhomie and SPAM.

The original ethos of networking has been lost. Twitter is like email without a SPAM filter. Linked In is like a high school reunion full of Life Assurance reps, and Facebook is like an infants school playground.

That’s why I picked out this video by Rebel Virals - enjoy!
