Isn’t social media cool?
- FriendFeed
- Google Wave
- YouTube
- Flickr
- Many others
Plus, there are so many ways to communicate one on one (or even with multiple people):
- Google Talk
- MSN Messenger
- Yahoo Messenger
- Texting
- Cellphone (or <gasp> home phone – I think people that still have a home phone are in the minority now)
- Many others
At what point do we say enough is enough?
Are you at that point yet?
Did you reach that point long ago?

Hey Jim, I’m at that point. I wrote a little about it a couple weeks ago in this post:
Help! I’m Drowning in the Stream

There are lots of people raving about the benefits of engaging in social media (myself included), but not many talking about where to draw the line or how to manage social media in a way that does not become overwhelming.
I’m experimenting with some rules and systems to help me manage things better, and I’m very interested to hear how others manage their social media activities.
I think I have also reached that drowning point too.
I’ve commented over on Paul’s post as well but I am so wanting to build deeper and more meaningful relationships (am I running from something else?) but I need to be very mindful of my real life commitments too.
