There’s a lot of noise on the social media networks about… social media.
So many choices, so little time.
Which to join, and which to ignore?
My current plan is to join about as many as I can find, and then see which I find the most useful, and then let the rest whither away with lack of use. Perhaps this isn’t a very scientific way to do things, but I really don’t have the time to do in-depth reviews on each, one after the other, and with the speed that new services are appearing, I’d probably never keep up anyway.
Last week, I joined Friend Feed, and I’m finding this very useful so far. I get a daily email which is god for keeping tabs on those I follow, and there are some useful links appearing too – useful meaning that I find them interesting at least.
As you can play audio and video links from right within the page, that’s another cool bonus too. So as of now, I’m still twittering, and tumbling, and checking out friendfeed. I’m plurking less though as although it’s fun, it’s too time-consuming during the working day.

For most of us, drinking our favorite drink in a pleasant relaxing place makes it taste better than somewhere that isn’t. Think about it for a moment. Doesn’t that $4 latte taste better, sitting inside the coffee shop, rather than drinking it in the car while driving. In the coffee shop, yu’re more likely to be relaxing than you are doing 70mph on the interstate, or winding your way through the morning rush hour traffic downtown.
Now, take your mind back to the coffee shop again. A person that seems somewhat attractive walks in. Then someone else who is more attractive comes in a few minutes later, and the first person doesn’t seem that good looking after all.
By the way, we’re talking about strangers here, not comparing your spouse to the good-looking neighbor you secretly lust after!
The human mind works in strange ways, when you stop and think about it!

A report from ZD Net states that heavy bloggers read other blogs more than they read any other type of site. Well, is this true? I do a fair bit of blogging, but I’m probably not a heavy blogger – well I’m not a professional blogger (although I’d love to get paid to blog all day!)
Anyway, looking at my online reading choices – I do have a number of other blogs in my feed reader, but I also like to read news sites, and productivity sites as well. I think it’s important, as a blogger, to read other content around you, as otherwise you can become very insular, and your outlook on the world can become somewhat stunted, blinkered, and narrow-minded.
