Help! I am drowning in Social Networks!

May 11th, 2008 · No Comments

How many social networks can one be in? Or more precisely, how many social network tools do I need?

Jeez, I am in the following:

  • Second Life – 18 Groups
  • SL Bloggers Network
  • Face Book
  • My Space
  • Linked In
  • Flicker
  • uTube
  • MyBlog Log
  • Type Key
  • Twitter
  • Digg
  • Technorati
  • Stickam
  • StumbleUpon
  • Yahoo Answers
  • Santa Cruz New Tech Meet-up
  • Hash House Harriers – Websites & Local Running

Not to mention the ones I just dabble with:

  • Bitstrips
  • Ask A Ninja Fan Club
  • World of Warcraft – 3 Guilds

These do not include all of the blogs I read which are part of my social network. I enjoy keeping up with friends and colleagues this way. To see there interests and their concerns. I also read an enoroumous amount of tech info on Wired and CNET. The there are the sites that I dare not mention like Silcon Valley gossip on Valley Wag.

Then there are the podcast / videocast networks that are constantly being checked.

And I can not forget my personal -non-tech friends networks. “Non-Tech Friends” – you know the ones who have no clue about twitter or the metaverse, let alone blogs. Most of them have just discovered cell phones and texting. Whoa!

So I ask myself today, how many networks do I need? What is the purpose of each one? Am I waisting time, or is this making me more productive?

Over the next two months I am going to track my time on these efforts and report back.

Share and Enjoy if You Dare:
  • Digg
  • Facebook
  • Google Bookmarks
  • MySpace
  • del.icio.us
