Disclaimer: I like twitter over facebook, which I don&#x27;t use that much, and my comment history will show that I&#x27;m a twitter &#x27;lackey&#x27;, so to speak.<p>Does anyone else feel that the facebook moment is fading away? People have compared information to food, and I can see the similarities. When you come from a place where there&#x27;s little or no food, you want to hoard all you can -- why yes, I would love to see your babies pics every day, of course, post three dozen photos of the same party from different angles, I love it, why yes, this memory from seven years ago is exactly what I need. When you&#x27;re saturated with information (in this case, social media information), it doesn&#x27;t feel as special anymore. Soon, you realize that while looking at Christmas photos from people you went to high school with, was fun for a while, there is only so much space in your head and social energy. The marginal value of that extra bit goes down, and averages start leveling off or going down. There&#x27;s too much food everywhere, you don&#x27;t want to be forced with another plate of who-gives-an-eff-about-your-fifth-Halloween-in-a-row. What was originally curiosity and genuine excitement about other people&#x27;s lives becomes social courtesy: of course you will like your almost-friend&#x27;s child&#x27;s photos because that&#x27;s what good friends would do. Social networking (in facebook form) becomes ritualistic.<p>So the solution is social networks that (artificially) limit your access to information, such as snapchat and twitter. You want to only share a few things, with a few people at a time, and perhaps that shared thing will disappear in a couple of days&#x2F;hours&#x2F;views. To me that sounds like the long-term future of social media.<p>Anyone have any thoughts?
