Lately I've been thinking a lot about the fragmentation of Social Media. More specifically about juggling all different services without losing time.
Today Seth Godin writes about the tsunami of media and information. His posts reflects pretty closely my sentiments about the problems with all my different social media.
I use a lot of social media services. Among these are Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, Jaiku, Tumblr, FriendFeed, YouTube, Last.fm, Spotify, Del.icio.us, Picasa and Flickr. And this is just of the top of my head. I bet I use three to four times as many weekly.
My way to cope with this so far has been to funnel them through each other. Facebook becomes a collector of my streams, through different feed imports . This is what Tumblr and FriendFeed are designed for, but I have a bigger audience on Facebook.
And my entrance to my feeds is usually Twitter. Anything I say on twitter propagates itself through my feeds to touch as many of my contacts as possible.
I'm thinking of writing a more lengthy post (no promises) about tips and tricks on how to cope with social media overload. What should I include? What are your best tips to stay on top of the pile? I appreciate your feedback.
