Time Versus Social Networking and Virtual Worlds

Just wait until the third minute...

With so many things competing for people's time on the Internet...

Personally, I was surprised that LinkedIn didn't make it into this video. I've never had a MySpace page, and I wouldn't want one. Friendster? Nope. Facebook? Semi-useful though the poking and super wall junk is annoying. Second Life? It depends; I spend a fair amount of time in it - and that time has become more dependent on how much I get from it. I'm not a person who really enjoys 3d multiplayer notepad..

Good video - and a bit funny because of the underlying truth. And that truth is something that solutions providers, Linden Lab and social networking sites ponder every day: How to fight over our time.

Thankfully, I have email and blogs to fall back on.
