I am a swamped super-connector.

I’m reeling from my Rolodex.

I am Pulsed, Poked, Friended and apparently quite a “Hottie.”

How do YOU handle your time around social networking? 

If you have joined more than one social network, you may find your inbox filling with invitations to link on LinkedIn, friend on Facebook and MySpace, follow on Twitter, subscribe on FriendFeed, and be invited to Premier Talent and more, more, more.

It’s too much to handle on a daily basis, so I have now created a folder in my email called “Pending Socials.” As invitations fly in to my inbox, I move them to this new folder and will address them once or twice a week, instead of all day long.

These invitations, though important to me, are breaking my working rhythm. It’s now too interruptive. I want to connect with everyone, everywhere. But I want to do it on my terms. It’s fascinating to be in all these networks. I am watching how they evolve and how they are starting to merge - like Plaxo connecting with my LinkedIn contacts. That’s great. But I am tiring of connecting both in Facebook and LinkedIn to everyone new that I meet. I can’t wait for Open Social to allow interoperability of my contacts on what ever site I frequent.

Until that day, I’m going to set aside specific time to confirm my invitations, rather than doing them on the fly.
