I try to limit my time to only the sites that are meaningful to me as business networker. I do keep my status updates on a lot of sites at one time by using a site called Ping.fm

Another thing to use is FriendFeed…which is kind of tricky to get the hang of.

With those two resources, you’ll see that you will save a ton of time and cut down on the headaches we all get from trying to do too much.

I am trying to learn/follow Mari Smith’s 5 minute plan for Facebook. 5 mins a day. I also stopped all those nutsy little applications on facebook, trimmed it down! Also my tweets go directly to my Facebook. I visit tagfoot most every day – great traffic for my sites there and good folks to visit. Other than that, I am totally stopping everything else. Squidoo, twitter, 5 min facebook and 10-15 mins on tagfoot. that’s it for me for now. Great post, Fluff! Thank you!

Thank you so much for saying what I’ve been thinking. Why on earth do I Twitter, Facebook AND Squidoo???

So, with all the ugly scuttlebut about Facebook, I’m doing away with it and I’ll Tweet and Squidoo, only.

I do have a personal Facebook page just for family which I will keep and I’ll continue to store photos on Flickr.

You are brilliant. Thanks. What a relief! Whew!

I do twitter, but I don’t fully understand it yet. I haven’t had time to sit back and figure everything out for a start, but it looks like a good place to keep in touch, and I have managed to link with a lot of my friends on there.

This is such good advice that I am adding a module called “Netiquette” onto a certain “etiquette” lens of mine. After 6 months on Squidoo I have looked at many social netwroks and for me the ones I like the best are Twitter, Tagfoot & of course SquidU. I also blog on Squidtop.

All get me traffic but the one I get the least from is Twitter but I sometimes wonder if it is because when I am awake, many of my Twitter friends are asleep! Note to moi: Tweet more in the evenings when my friends are awake!

great post…i agree with most of what you’ve said. squidoo and twitter are top with facebook for friends and family. i also add flickr to the list – i’ve made some great contacts there too!

Thank you for this post . . . I’ve always felt that I was doing the maximum of what I can do with one or two social networks (online), since I do have a life (and social networks) away from the computer. But then I thought I was just being a square and not with the program. . . you have lifted a weight off my mind.

I definitely spend a lot of time at squidoo. I’m also reasonably active at twitter (try to login once a day) and my blog (try to blog three times a week).
Then there’s one or two ning forums where I’m one of the regulars.

Yes, I agree that you cannot spread yourself too thin–it becomes proportionally harder as your lenses increase in number and you increase the number of social sites you frequent. Quickly overwhelming.

I’ve concentrated mainly on Tagfoot and find it a very friendly and responsive community–highly recommended since the format of the site promotes communication.

I spend the majority of my time on squidoo, I consider it my bread and butter. It is my way to get my writing out to the world and I can also get feedback on it on whether people like it or not. I have done some writing for AssociatedContent, which I have made some money on. My writing career is just beginning. I’ve dabbled a little bit with myspace but, I don’t consider it a major traffic source.
