Aggregated services are not only used for entirely different purposes, but also cater to different audiences. Consequently, who you may be catering to is dependent upon why you may be using the service. While some articles or content submitted to services may overlap, this is only because there are overlapping interests for the different audiences on these platforms. How does this affect noise levels? If you’re using a service to promote content, you may be considered noisy to those that are looking for conversations. If you’re using a platform to keep in touch, then those looking for content and in depth conversation surrounding particular content would need a way to block out idle chatter.
