"How Many Social Networks are Enough?"

[Rich Jacobson]

If you're like me, it seems like you're get invited to some new social platform nearly every day.

How many Social Networks are enough? Seriously. How effective can you be at networking if you're spread too thin already? After all, we do actually have to spend 'some' amount of our time doing 'business.'

Are we just the kind of folks who have to take a peak at anything new that comes along? Are we just naturally 'curious?' Or is it that the social networks we're already involved in just don't satisfy all our needs/wants?

What say ye?

Eric - Nice to see you pipe in here. I am right there with you. I wish there were one single aggregator/app that would manage all of my social networks, and act as a communication channeling device....

I checked out a few....and yup...spreading oneself too thin can surely become a problem if there's no balance. ActiveRain, Realtyworld, Cre8buzz, my own three outside blogs, my website and blog after I get my work done is all I can handle besides a tweet here and there on twitter. Past that...I think I'll chill for awhile.

Personally I'm kinda hoping we're reaching the saturation point if we haven't already.

As you say, too many networks can spread you too thin if you try to do justice to them all.

Rich I think we look for the most fun and knowledge to chat it up.
