Some say social networking is on the decline

A recent article in the the San Francisco Chronicle debates the continued popularity of social networking sites.

Teens have admitted that they are overwhelmed with various social Internet sites. One teen even admitted that she spent more time tweaking her networking page than she spent on homework. Teens -- and adults alike -- have grown tired of requests from strangers to be added to their "friends" lists.

Many users who are members of several sites feel so overwhelmed that they have cut back to one or two sites. The new belief is that the future of social sites will be more hobby oriented. For instance, cat lovers will join other cat lovers on a site like Catster.com.

So, is social networking dying? Read about it here: San Francisco Chronicle
