Leo Laporte on having some of his social media settings messed up and subsequently ignored: 

It makes me feel like everything I've posted over the past four years on Twitter, Jaiku, Friendfeed, Plurk, Pownce, and, yes, Google Buzz, has been an immense waste of time. I was shouting into a vast echo chamber where no one could hear me because they were too busy shouting themselves.

That's what most big websites with comments feel like.  I lose brain cells every time I read a comment on YouTube. #technology
