I’m stuck in a Social Networking Catch-22 of sorts…
…with Facebook to be exact.
I love Facebook because it’s allowed me to keep in touch with everyone, but finding so many people on Facebook makes it hard to keep in touch with everyone.
When I had 20 friends, it took me hardly any time at all to peruse what they were doing and then comment. I could stay on top of that with no problems. When I started to reach 50, I got excited! I’m touching base with so many people! Then, 100 rolled around. It wasn’t long before I hit 200. I was amazed at the power of Facebook and how many people could stay connected.
Currently, I have over 330 Facebook Friends…in just one of my accounts.
Yay! Isn’t being connected the point?
But, how connected am I?
Actually, the more connected I become, the more disconnected I feel.
I love popping in to check on people, but the shear numbers of the task are overwhelming. “Oh, boo hoo…you’ve connected with so many people,” you might be thinking.
Yes, there is a tiny violin playing just for me. Don’t you hear it? 
Where will it stop? I have no idea. Will I stop adding friends to the list? No! Will I stop worrying about staying on top of everyone’s everything? Probably.
And, if you’re one of those everyones whose everything got disregarded, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. It would be so much easier for me to pay attention if I could get these cobwebs out of my hair.
Now, if I could just figure out this Twitter thing…
