Messaging overload: Why have we let notifications rule our lives? - Talk Mobile


Sorting the signal from the noise is a major problem when it comes to mobile communication and social networking. As social networks grow, they become filled not only with real people, but also with advertisers and brands, and worse -- inundated with trolls, griefers, spammers, and more. You're forced to make a decision between a manageable existence where you can keep up with what's going on, or just accept the influx and go with the ever-quickening flow.

There are so many options now, from traditional text and email to instant messaging to social networks, how do you pick the right one for you and the people you care most about?

Let's get the conversation started!
