Finally, what I was waiting for has happened, numbers from web analytics outfit comScore have confirmed that people (yes you) are bored of social networks. The average length of time users spend on websites like MySpace and Facebook is taking double-digit percentage hits in the last months of 2007.

I’ve never been a real fan of those social networking sites, bu millions of others were, so out of respect I followed (aliitle). However, what I predicted has happened:

  • You join
  • accumulate dozens of semi-friends
  • spy on a few ex-girlfiends (or boyfriends) for a bit
  • play some dum games
  • get bored
  • then get on with your life, occasionally dropping in to respond to a message or see some photos that have been posted
