I enjoyed visiting 123people.com because a) it reassured me that most non-work related stuff about me on the web is on super-secret lockdown (not that I really have anything to hide) and b) it resurfaced by mug shot from my freshman year of college softball!

I think like anything else in today's society, even social media can result in a kind of gluttony. In response to this overabundance, I think we take a step back, and assess what we need. For professionals, how do we leverage this technology to best benefit our business goals? On a personal level, what is it that I need to do (or want to do) to stay in contact with my friends? We look through our roles and decide basically, which social media performance suits us best in that role; and take a bite of no more, no less. I turn down at least 5 requests a week for the latest hot 'social media' thing. And I will keep doing so, until a compelling reason, has me join this or that social bandwagon. Hopefully, this class will give you some exposure to the ones I have found most helpful in my many roles. And if not, simply abandon them at the conclusion or the course. :-) Dena..

I find myself, under the pressure of social media overload, to regress from it and limit myself to only certain sites on a regular basis-- for me its primarily facebook and a blog or two. Do you think there's a limit to how much following and sharing through multiple websites one can do, before the whole social media model implodes? I mean, if I'm already following person a, b, and c's blog, checking up on my facebook/twitter feed etc, why should I care what website's my network is visiting?
