Social Media is #Exhausting

Snapchat, Instagram, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare, LinkedIn, Flickr, Pinterest, Google+, Friendster, Goodreads, Vine. Creating a username, password, and complete profile. Making sure to have pictures, videos, posts, statuses, followers, friend requests, comments, likes, check-ins, endorsements, updates, hashtags. Does anyone else find all of this exhausting?

When does anyone have time to do anything else? Like #takeawalk? Or just, I don't know, #think? I keep waiting for the stopping point, like when TV hit Blu-ray.

I have begun to get suspicious of why so many of these innovations are named with two words slapped together, often with a missing letter or a weird capitalization in the middle. That's not very innovative. I'm concerned that it's all becoming #mindnumbing. Here are some suggestions: BrainFart, DumbDwn, NoThink, StatusHunt, BragFest, EgoGo.

Vine is the one that recently pushed me over the edge. My reaction was: ANOTHER ONE?! Not that I have all the others before it. I'm frozen at Facebook level, which is probably at least seven social media trends behind. I'm at the equivalent of "Soulja Boy," when there's been "Jump on It," "Gangnam Style" and "Harlem Shake." Or maybe I'm still at "The Electric Slide."

Perhaps other people have a greater capacity for updating and ditching than I do. Oh my blog. What's happened to all of us?
