Currently, I see information overload as a challenge for society, and I want https://createthirdplaces.org/ to help address the challenge.

Create Third Places does not have an official presence on any social media website right now. While I could theoretically reach more people with social media, I don’t see that as beneficial. I would be competing with large organizations with vast amounts of resources to spend on social media that will probably make Create Third Places hard to notice.

Social media websites already present people with a large amount of information that causes overload. As a result, details about Create Third Places could be missed or understood incorrectly.  I would also be adding to the amount of information overload people are dealing with.  In addition, I would have less time to spend on other work because of the effort necessary to make Create Third Places visible on social media.

By sharing information about Create Third Places without social media, I am encouraging slower paced information gathering that prevents an overload. It is easier to share information Create Third Places in person where the environment is less distracting.
