Web 2.0: So Easy a Newbie Can Do It

The user generated media thing is fun and interesting and accessible. Anybody can blog, podcast, make videos, etc. But is that good or bad?
Jim Kukral mused today that he’s got Internet and Web 2.0 overload, and I’ve got to say I sort of agree.
I was thinking about the places where I feel compelled to maintain a presence these days. Of course, there is my main blog. But then I’m on the Affiliate Summit Social Network, BUMPzee!, Flickr, Magnify.net, MySpace, Tumblr, Twitter, YouTube, and probably some other places.
I’m more active in some places than others. I join anything that’s intriguing, and over time I anticipate that I’ll abandon more communities and widgets than I retain.
There’s no cost and no barrier to entry. I imagine this is going to lead to a whole bunch of ghost towns at some point, as we’ll each have to eventually know when to say when.
May the best apps win.

“May the best Apps win”
Thanks for having an attitude and mindset which focuses on abundance and production! This post could have gone the way of complaining that there are too many apps, and it’s too much to maintain, and… etc.
Instead (as always), you take a really great abundance-based approach to the issue.
Thanks Shawn!

reply to this commentShawn: I must belong to dozens and dozens of sites, blogs, forums and social networking clubs and forget about Web 2.0 because i can’t seem to get enough of them. Everyday i find some new site i WANT to a part of and so i sign-up, yet again. I guess we feel that if we don’t join, we will miss out on the next big or cool thing. Community overload is more like it. God help us all.
