This problem is more than a desire to tweet

If you are bragging about your compulsive behavior, I think it's a little beyond a desire to use social networks.

Get some help.

Call Tracking Hot on Twitter.. Reading my blog reader of the day's blog Thanks @mongoosemetrics

@mongoosemetrics makes the technology needed to track from a web site to a phone call.

With all the talk we've been having about eliminating phone numbers, I paused for a moment when I saw people so dedicated to tracking phone calls...

Then it dawned on me.. when we make a Skype or Gmail call, it is trackable. @mongoosemetrics is helping us move to connecting with people rather than number.

All this from picking on blog reader to shower love on today.

And this was one of many posts featured on their blog... COOL!

Over the past couple of years, more and more people have begun using the social media site Twitter for obtaining information and connecting with others. In fact, news programs have even started to use people’s comments, or “tweets,” as sources for the latest stories. But perhaps what is most interesting to see is how Twitter has affected the ways of business around the world. For although it is mostly celebrities and sports figures that are grabbing headlines with tweets about their activities, many companies have also embraced this unique form of social media to connect with customers – often with great results.

Paying Less Attention to @ChrisBrogan. I can't switch to @jimkural

I love reading anything from Chris. Really enjoy hanging out when we can.

Sometimes I go days without seeing a twee from him (though other days I read several and the links and blog posts)

Is this bad?

Chris points out that we can't see everything and spend time with everyone.

I agree. If I didn't see Chris for a year, he'd still be my friend. With social media, I hear from him most days.

I had to mention Jim Kukral. After all, his new book is called ATTENTION (out tomorrow, buy a copy) Sheez, I hardly ever talk to Jim now. What will happen when HE gets more connections?

If I spent 6 minutes a day with 100 Twitter friends, that’s 10 hours.

Only 100. If I gave ONLY 100 people some of my time, that’s 10 hours right there. No email. No work. No writing. No family life. 10 hours gone just to some tweets to individuals.

Email: I get just under 600 a day. Of those, I process about 120 myself. If I give each of those just 1 minute (and email takes much longer than tweets), that’s another 2 hours.

I’m up to 12 hours just to service a few hundred friends and colleagues.

We are setting ourselves up to be disappointments to many. Or that’s the feeling I’m getting way down deep in my gut and my bones. I feel it more and more every day. I feel people growing weary of the “Chris doesn’t have time” side of the Internet.

But this is unnatural. We didn’t used to have hundreds of thousands of contacts. Dunbar. 150. Right?
