Actually I think it was rather clever cheating on the meme and involving my network. Hi Patricia - definitely working smarter is the way. Well the new applications get discussed in my twitter network. I have learnt mostly to let the really early adopters road test them and then start to take notice if lots of really good comments start coming through; and make sure they don't sweep me up in their frenzy of excitement. Regarding blogs yes - my subscription is over 200 and am very efficient at speed reading; if a topic is really important it tends to be repeated several times so eventually it will click.

The constant appearance of the new tools is certainly overwhelming. Mind you, keeping up with everyone's opinion is also somewhat overwhelming! I see you have over 50 blogs listed and that's only some of them!! :) Hi Sue

And Twitter .. just love it. I'd be terrified to pick up my flute and play with Yo Yo Ma! However, I think you're the maestro! Your blog is awesome and I love how you share and collaborate in learning. Excellent example of using your network! And Twitter .. just love it.

Actually point #5 was going to be my first point but struggling to write the post I changed the order. Nowadays I base my immersion in tools on whether enough people stay using the tool. That way I don't get overwhelmed. Also if I am not getting a tool e.g. like Flickr it makes me hang in because there must be a valid reason why I should take the time to get it. Thanks Paul.

I think your point #5 is particularly sage advice. It is impossible to keep up, and any effort to do so soon becomes overwhelming. Thanks for another great post, Sue.
