Reminds me of the hive of communication inside large organizations
where there are so many emails, messages, meetings, etc. all cc'd to
everyone else, that most of the time is spent in communicating and
they have to hire contractors to get any actual work done.

On the other hand, this social cloud is ideal to find out all the gory
details before you hire someone, rent a flat to them, lend them money,
or even go on a date with them.  ;)
