Been feeling overloaded lately. Also feeling something of a sense of ennui with social media. Sometimes it’s good, and sometimes I just see things in my various feeds that annoy me. Sometimes I feel like it’s not fun anymore, but instead is merely a pointless distraction.
Time for a break.
(I was going to do this starting in November, but fuck it - am starting today.)
So, here’s what I’m going to stop checking and posting to:
- @jenvetterli
- @jenvetterlicom
- Yammer (which is an internal work account that I cross-post to from @jenvetterlicom, but occasionally interact with separately)
- Blip.fm (which feeds into @jenvetterli)
- FourSquare
- various Tumblr and Flickr accounts that haven’t seen much activity anyway
- somehow feel like I’m forgetting other accounts - clearly they’re not important
Accounts that I will keep checking and posting to, albeit not so much (in all likelihood):
- @ZenSkyMind
- TripIt (only if I actually travel somewhere; in which case, my updates will post to both Facebook and LinkedIn *shrug*)
- Diigo, which cross-posts to my work Delicious account
- personal Delicious account (not used much, but just in case…)
- my company’s Jive implementation (which is for work, of course)
So, thanks for following. I plan to start up again in 2012. Maybe I’ll see you then.
