With social networking sites ever on the rise, new problems arise with them. One of the latest is “social networking fatigue” which is what kicks in when you become a member of one too many arenas that require your presence your interaction and thus a part of your time.

With new social networking sites launching every week, some users have fallen prey to “social networking fatigue,” as their inboxes are flooded with dozens of invitations.
