Quit job/relationships and commit 100% - Joe Dawson

What if it is your job haha - Natitude

Use tools that pull things together: Digsby, FriendFeed, etc. Be careful with the thought of "managing your time," though - that sounds a little too close to "work." Unless you're a Social Media Manager, you should be using these networks to connect to interesting people and have fun, don't worry about the management of them. - Vince DeGeorge

Deal as much of it as you want-can, leave the rest for good. - doruk tokçabalaban via twhirl

I haven't tried Digsby yet, I'll have to look into that one. Thanks! - Natitude

Stop sleeping. Focus the majority of your time on the site where you feel most at home/productive. For me that's Pownce, for my friend Josh it is StumbleUpon, for my friend Eliesha, it's Facebook. I think different services appeal to different personalities. I'm on a lot of services but I can't check them all every day. Most days it's just Pownce and SocialThing, and the others I work in when I can. - Heidi Cool

Here's my social media consumption workflow: http://www.louisgray.com/live... - Louis Gray

Hmmm…the sites should be competing for my time. I will surely be spending the most amount of time on the sites I find most useful! - Ethan Klapper

I find it hard to keep up with everything. You kind of have to divide your time. - Jeremiah Hoyet

Great post. I start with email as well, then a quick look at Twitter, browse headlines on my Netvibes pages & feeds in Google Reader. I have to use FriendFeed more especially now where there are discussions going on in rooms. - Ellen Moore

Why Manage? Leverage them! - Igor The Troll

Yes, don't manage the accounts, manage the content that people vote upon and get it seen by the right people. - Mark Edmondson

wow great to see this pick up again... all good ideas - Natitude

Thanks for the blog post Louis! - Natitude

Mike, I have the same thing but in my right sidebar widgets. All my properties! Oh, and you give me the finger! Here is one right back at you! http://www.igorthetroll.com/blog... LOL - Igor The Troll

I have the same question. I want to meet and connect with people with similar interests but with Jaiku, Twitter, Friendfeed and etc. it is a daunting task. I understand the use of the word "manage" because you've got friends and relationships in disparate places to keep up with. - Vaughn

FOCUS & Testing - test 10 of the social media accounts out for a week or two, give them all a dedicated amount of time, and then narrow it down to your top 5. - Nate Moller

Pick a few that give the best ROI and ignore the rest. - John Wesley

I just do something very controversial and get kicked out with a bang! Leave them with a fart I always say. - NoahDavidSimon

Concentrate on a few favorites and make guest apperances on others. - Tad Chef
