There is far too much overlap on the world wide web when it comes to content. For example, there are 20 websites that all carry out the same functions. Youtube, Flikr, Facebook, Myspace, Blogger, Twitter, etc. All of these forums in my opinion only clutter the internet with redundant and useless information. It really is coming to the point where knowledge is taking a beating directly from the diversity of the www. If it really is a web, there is no centre; it's just a myriad of nodes connected together in a random and chaotic fashion with no real foundation.
As an artist, I find it a personal pain in the ass to update every aspect of my web presence i.e myspace, youtube, facebook, twitter etc. People are spending too much time lost in these processes and not actually grasping the real meaning of content and knowledge. Compartmentalization is only going to be able to go so far before people will go running back to simplicity as they always do. My question is that if we know this, why do we always gravitate towards complication? Communication is a complex process, but it doesn't have to have ridiculous like updating a twitter status every time you wipe your ass.
I am wasting too much time conforming to these new communication standards, but if everyone else is doing them and you are trying to stay at the top of the heap in terms of your product "music" than you are forced to bite the bullet, suck it up and move forward. I hate the status quo, and I hate moving to the rhythm of humanity. Fuck you world that wants to bury true knowledge and simplicity in a heap of bullshit information.
