Comments on: Am I too Lazy for This Social Media Thing? http://www.socialtimes.com/2008/02/am-i-too-lazy-for-this-social-media-thing/ Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 21 Mar 2010 13:41:05 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Anthony LaFauce http://www.socialtimes.com/2008/02/am-i-too-lazy-for-this-social-media-thing/comment-page-1/#comment-686 Anthony LaFauce Fri, 08 Feb 2008 14:35:36 +0000 http://www.socialtimes.com/2008/02/am-i-too-lazy-for-this-social-media-thing/#comment-686 Thanks for the input and suggestions. My Yahoo isn't perfect for a feed reader but the old military in me needs some sort of structure to keep up with this crazy 'social media' world. MY yahoo also sends all my feeds to my yahoo mail so I can check them from my phone, something I find very valuable when I am stuck in an office or on a train. Thanks for the input and suggestions.

My Yahoo is very linear and takes LOTS of time to read through. Check out a quick <a href="http://chrisbrogan.blip.tv/file/638601/" rel="nofollow">screencast</a> I did about why I like Google reader. It might be the tool you need to get the job done. Just a thought. I’d argue that the tool might not be the best for the job, either. My Yahoo is very linear and takes LOTS of time to read through.

Social media stuff is wonderful, but it's far too easy to forget how much time it actually takes, and for those people who are interested but for whom social media is not a life priority (read: almost everyone), it becomes overwhelming pretty fast. Put another way: it's like juggling. If you're a professional juggler and you're juggling three balls, it's not really that big a deal if someone throws in a bowling pin and a chainsaw. It's a fun challenge. But for someone who only has the time and experience (and desire!) to juggle three balls and then you throw in a fourth, the result is usually that they'll drop them all. Okay, maybe not the best analogy, but there it is. ;-) I couldn’t agree more.
