I’ve just come across a post discussing FaceBook fatigue. The author, Om Malik of GigaOm.com, poses some questions regarding for instance the ever growing amount of time people spend on managing their FaceBook relationships, and also mentions some security issues surrounding FaceBook, as well as other social networks. His post has generated numerous interesting comments from people who have different opinions about the issue. A new term has been coined FaceBook bankruptcy, or [whatever] bankruptcy, meaning experiencing fatigue to the point of simply stopping the use of a service. Jason Calacanis also talks about his FaceBook bankruptcy.

I personally only started using FaceBook maybe two months ago, but haven’t had any problems with it yet. Maybe because I strictly use it for contacts with people I already know (friends and family abroad). I guess when I start getting invitations in larger numbers, I may experience something similar to what Om is talking about. How about you? What are your experiences using FaceBook?
