MySpace isn't counted as stalking? I call shenanigans.

Likewise Facebook is the only one of these that facilitates my ADHD.

I love to have that T-shirt, but {REDACTED} it’s quite expensive. But anyway, I find this Venn Diagram of Social Media really true. Well as you can see nowadays we are more indulge in FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, TWITTER that results to in correlate with egoism as what is stated there. Hmmm, Facebook is not the only site for stalking but Myspace also.

"Facebook is for stalking" has been the joke for years. MySpace is for Junior High drama.

Also, tweetstalk is super-creepy. If you have so many stalkees that you can just go to there page, that you have to have a Firefox add-on to do it-- I don't know.

this diagram is awesome, however I think there is a direct relationship between ADHD and facebook. I would like to add QUBE and Linkedin to the narcisism graph!!

Cool shirt, too bad it'll be obsolete in a year or two when the next facebook/myspace on steroids debuts.

Facebook and Myspace need to be swapped.

The shirt should have a caption under the diagram: "eewwww!!!"

Also, the narcissism bubble should be WAY bigger.

I don't know about the UK, but narcissism edging onto the side of sociopathy has become uber-rampant in the US. These "services" simply feed the need and enable the trend.

I reiterate: eeewwww!!!

Glad to finally have time to look at this web page. I’ve been busily twittering my time away on Facebook.

Interesting to note:

1. Without looking too hard, I found three other places on this page that invited me to “twitter” about something.

2. Curious about the designer who created this diagram, I saw a copyright notice buried in the art that points me their web site at http://despair.com. (Check it out. It is funny!) Surprise: in the top right corner of their home page is a link to Twitter!

Am I to conclude that the creator of this art is a hard core ADHD with strong narcissistic and stalking tendencies?

To satisfy my need to have someone listen to me (okay, perhaps that is narcissism), I’m going to post these comments so I can get back to Facebook. (While I’ve been writing this post, I’ve had three important posts show up on my Facebook page!)

I think this is a fantastic, slightly over the top perseption on popular social networks. I mean, I am on all of these sites and pretty active, but I hate to feel I am a stalker. More a designer see... http://webfullcircle.tumblr.com/
