Information Overload!

July 31st, 2008

I am officially overloaded!  Here is what has me so verklempt:

I read a post at The Real Estate Tomato about Twitter called People Really Do Want You to Tweet About Your Cat.  It mentioned this foreign concept called Whuffies, which is a reputation-based currency in Cory Doctorow’s novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.  Now it’s a good novel in itself, and worth the read.  But the whole concept has me rethinking my attitude on self-publication online.  Maybe it’s not something I want to get into by myself, but maybe like Seth Godin, I would rather people read my books than buy them.

And then the previously mentioned post got me to rediscover my Twitter account, and now I’m trying to keep up with that, along with several other online tools that I’ve read about from the Real Estate Connect San Francisco Conference 2008 (it seems that my entire RSS Feed attended).  MyBlogLog is slow in getting started, and may not even be for me, but I’m trying to give that some attention as well.

I’ve made more progress with the SEO aspect of my latest job, but haven’t been able to work on another job at all, yet.  That isn’t only frustrating, but panicking.

And to top it all off, I have three marketing books at home, and I was just distracted long enough to buy two more off of Amazon - one about real estate, and one about web sites.  I can’t wait - and yet, when am I going to be able to make the time to read them?

It’s this amazing mix of excitement, horror and anticipation.  Wow.

Did I mention my feed has 78 unread items?
