Social Network Fatigue

Are you suffering Social Network Fatigue?

I am trying to keep up to date with just the information networks and systems and frankly I cannot keep up. There seems to be so much to connect to and share and get involved in, but I keep asking myself, so what is the purpose of all this "connection".

I find concentrated, personal, one to one far more engaging and responsive than the electro, sound byte type relationships that seem to occur through social / information networks.

How do you keep up? I don't think that I have that many information / social network tools going, what I do have is:

• Linkedin
• Plaxo
• Information Zen

I don't do facebook, twitter, bebo or others as I cannot keep ahead with what I have already and keep my personal human relationships going with my own family.

How many people out there rush home only to sit in front of a computer to "keep in touch" while the ones at home are in the relationship wilderness. I guess you could connect through facebook or txt !
