At first you are using it like crazy and only after thinking about how many countless hours you spent virtually farming. Or running a virtual restaurant (Only on the internet would we waste weeks virtually working for no money, why is it fun there, but not where we actually work and make real money?) After so many hours hopefully you realize how it is messing with your actual life and step away. (low level internet rehab) My wife and I both found that if you just avoid it for a week or two the grip loosens and it looks silly from the outside again. I think it is like any addiction.

My wife started in on it a few months ago and is hooked, but she is even getting tired of it and upset that they keep changing the look or where things are. Personally I think FB has too much crap on it, much like what MySpace did. I agree, I really am tired of Facebook.

If you get sick of logging into facebook every 15 minutes like you used to do, then.. don't, and start logging in every week. Your friend requests will still keep going up. And why "switch" between two social networking services? Why not have 2 or 5? Certainly don't need to check it very often. This isn’t a bandwagon that you need to jump off.

I'll take an opposing view here and say you are a victim of being in the 99th percentile of web abilities. As a result, you dive into stuff quickly, absorb it, use it to its max - and then get bored with it. My business partner is the exact same way, so anytime we speak about mass consumer stuff I always end up telling him "you are not the masses". Mark, you are not the masses. The masses are still in the early stages of Facebookitis and, therefore, still in love with it. I can tell you that many business people outside of the tech world are completely unaware of FB....let alone "over it". Your web abilities are a curse :-) I played golf with a couple of guys that shot the lights out. Literally, they would drive, approach and putt for birdie almost every time. The problem is, they weren't having any fun. The excitement of making a great shot was gone. Golf had become mechanical. I immediately decided that I would never allow myself to become that good of a golfer. I still love the excitement of making the odd birdie, loooong putt or a great approach close to the pin. I feel sorry about the fact you will probably never get that same excitement from the web again. You're too good and too fast. I can't foresee how any new web tools/sites/apps could satisfy you for very long. Best, George Hey, Mark.
