The need to unplug
Did you ever feel the need to unplug from your online life? I’m referring to the range of social networking tools that we have around us, like facebook, twitter, posterous, plaxo, linkedin, hi5, pingfm, just to name a few. I know I have, in more that one ocasion, and today I finally started thinking about it seriously.
Every day I grow more and more overwhelmed by the amount of information that surrounds me (and that consumes my time); The twitter updates, the photo uploading on flickr or picasa web, all the blogs to read, the blogs to write on, it’s just too much information (and little bit waste of time, in some cases). So, going for Pareto’s principle, I will gradually start to cut back on those services. Hopefully, this will give me some time back.
This means that I can finally put a bigger effort on my soon to be moved homepage and consolidate it as the *only* place where I post stuff (the final mileage may vary).
Wish me luck
