While taking a break from prepping, well, sort of procrastinating, I decided to finally sort my Twitter contacts into their appropriate lists. It's something I've been meaning to do for a while, but never found the motivation. As I was contemplating what lists to use, it finally dawned on me that I was doing exactly what I have always done in Google Reader; except there I organized my RSS feeds into labels. So I just used the same high level categories. Then I moved on to facebook and became a fan of the facebook pages for a bunch of the site feeds I follow and organized my Facebook contacts and pages into the same lists.
So now I'm looking at this ridiculous duplication wondering why I can't simply use one damn application for it all. The problem of course is that they each have different strengths, and everyone I'm interested in following will use one or more of them independently.
Anyway, just thought I'd vent a little. Right now I'm stuck dipping my hand into all three rivers of information in addition to monitoring activity on Linkedin. It's definitely too much information with a low signal to noise ratio that impacts the core content I wish to view.
