Today I decided to get rid of some of the Social Network Overload. I deleted my twitter, pownce, mashable accounts. I went to Myspace and Facebook and got rid of people that were just creating too much noise and not enough value, or that I really didn’t know. I am sure there is more I could do, but that is a good first step.
Basically the main social networks I use:
MySpace
Geni.com (for family)
Flickr
YouTube
others I have but really don’t utilize – last.fm, pandora, wakoopa, linkedIN, and I am sure there are others…
I wish I could combine into just one site easily. Same with contacts. I cleared out some IM contacts I have never talked to in a few years, as well as email/phone contacts. Was just getting too much to organize.
Still searching for the “holy grail” of simplicity in organization, with digital media, online/social networks, and contacts, etc… maybe some day.

Hey so since you are so overwhelmed by social networks but you still have quite a few, you should check out Fuser. And, to make your life less complicated(digitally speaking) you should get the facebook application that gives you a separate wall on your facbeook page to display myspace messages. Let me know what you think about this!
