Much is said about dealing with information overload in our computerized world of communication; whether it be RSS feeds, reading blog posts, following some-ones twittering’s or reading boring redundancies on a Facebook wall. The problem is when they are all saying exactly the same frikken thing.

Seriously … people have their blog posts being fed into their Facebook feeds, echoed through their Twitter feeds and then I get it again in my RSS client.

Enough already!

As Scott Karp pointed out after he got his echo chamber set up:

I’m starting to think that this has the potential to be hugely annoying – and misses the point of Facebook and Twitter. I’m basing that conclusion on having come across the same blog post (for several different blogs) in Facebook Notes, on Twitter, and then again in Google Reader – actually TWICE in Google Reader, since I subscribed to the RSS feed for my Facebook friends’ notes.

I just checked, and virtually every one of my friends’ notes on Facebook are imported blog posts – which I’ve already seen in Google Reader!

This is one of the reasons why I don’t even bother to fire up Pownce anymore because it is just one more echo of the same old news that I have already read. People bitch because they say the blogosphere is becoming nothing but an echo chamber of the same thing being rehashed continuously. Well that is nothing compared to the growing mass of personal echo chambers that are clogging up the electronic byways.

And for what?

Do you really need to see everything you think spewed all over the place - does this achieve anything other than to really get on peoples nerves?

Here’s a hint .. if you have already said it on Twitter I don’t need to see your daily verbiage coming through again on your blog posting slash RSS feed
