I dug into my archives this morning to see what I was blogging about last year at this time and was struck by a coincidence. On April 3, 2007 I wrote a post titled Less is more in which I discussed scaling back the number of social media/social networking tools I was engaged in in order to achieve focus and be able to distribution my energy effectively. The ‘talk of the week’ on this week’s Canadian Podcast Buffet’s features a discussion on ‘overexposure’ to social media tools, networks and conversations.
Since the episode won’t be published until tomorrow, you can prepare yourself for some of the discussion by reviewing the following blog posts which inspired the dialog.
Hi Mark,
I can totally relate to overload especially as it relate to actually reading all the blogs I subscribe to. So one thing that I am going to try today is to combine blog reading and exercise…yes – that’s what I said: reading and exercise. I am going to print off some long posts and read them as I powerwalk. I already do the walking/reading thing so it’s just a matter of bringing along the blogs.
