Summary

Amidst watching some talk about how they are reducing time in Google Reader due to information overload, or switching away from one service for another, whether due to its features, the friends, the noise or the content, I've been thinking a bit about how I consume social media, and specifically, the order of how I do it, to be sure I've caught up on everything quickly.

There is so much more thinking to be done in this whole blogging/SM research arena. It's really really fertile soil for some great conversations, and I plan to say much more myself on this topic in the coming months... I'm even setting up a business specifically to help bloggers with workflow issues and "outsourcing" a lot of the grunt work of it... those who want maximum "leverage"!
