Too Many Social Networks
I have to confess something. I have too many accounts on too many social networks. They all pretty much do the same thing. I post a link, a picture of something insane I saw or some text that describes what I'm doing at the moment. I post it on Twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn, Ping.fm, Tumblr... I don't even remember half of them. Oh, and FriendFeed. See!
It's insane.
Consolidation / Automation
I tried things like TarPipes to automate some processes. Post a pic via email and it goes to Evernote (forgot that one too!) and the text parsed out of it goes in the description on Flickr. Then you send all that to Twitter via TwitPic and maybe you GeoTag it along the way. I setup Ping.fm to send some things to FaceBook and Twitter. Other things go just to FaceBook. Others just to Twitter. Oh and some things get sent straight to my blog. Those end up getting fed into FriendFeed... and then Twitter Oh and those blog entries get picked up by TwitterFeed and sent to Twitter again. 12 hours later.. I can never remember what goes where.
Ugh.
Coping Strategy
So what do I do now? I just updated Twitter. I'm too lazy to update 27 things. Is that cool? What do you do?
I'm going to submit this now to blogger.com and see what happens...
