share this...and this...and this

i love social networking. believe me, i really do. i believe that social networks and social media marketing play a very important role in today’s completely wired (and/or wireless) world. but looking at the image above - which i must admit i don’t remember what website i took the screen shot from - it seems that we’re getting to the point of ridiculousness. when i came across this, i seriously could not believe the amount of icons on that page.

i understand that a couple of them may be foreign (ie, not USA) sites (segnalo.com - yes, netvouz.com - no), but my question is where do we draw the line? i’m all for free market economies and building a better mousetrap (or social network in this case), but over 6 social bookmarking sites on the same links page? do we really need backflip, link-a-gogo, spurl and yardbarker? c’mon, yardbarker?

am i the only one who feels like this? oh yeah, and don’t forget to post, re-post, share and link to this article…
