Technology Overload

Well it's been a while. I'm trying to blog with a regular pattern but I have been a little busy lately. My most recent adventure was a trip up the Minnesota to visit my Aunt and cousins, and to see the NKOTBSB concert. Sweet. Amazing. They are all so sexy and I was never a New Kids on the Block fan. I've always been a Backstreet Boys girl and I don't care how embarrassing it may be. Either way, this is not the point of this latest blog.

As the title suggests, I'm suffering from a technology overload and it's just going to get worse. I know some of it is my own fault, but I'm also trying to keep up with the world. Especially with my new found interest in Event Planning and Public Relations, I should be up on every social networking site. It's is freaking exhausting. It's more than just social too. There's all sorts of ways to keep in touch. This is a (probably incomplete) list of accounts that I have to stay up to speed with the rest of the world. Here we go:

Facebook
Twitter
Gmail
Augustana Gmail
YouTube
Blogspot
Text Messages
Skype
iChat (coming soon)
Google+ (coming soon)

I try to stay up-to-date on all of these but it's rough. I just recently deleted my two other email accounts on ATT and AOL. Sorry guys, Google is kicking your ass. I tried to consolidate everything because supposedly you can do that with certain Google accounts but it just does not want to cooperate for me. Maybe I'm dumb?

With the latest arrival of Google+, I can't help but think of another stupid site to make everyone all crazy and stalker-esque. On the other hand, once it wrangles in enough users I'm going to ditch Facebook. That site continually changes all the time and hopefully Google+ jumped in at the right spot, because everyone is sick and tired of Facebook. Even more people are starting to prefer Twitter over Facebook and I am starting to agree with them.

This is my prediction for the future of social networking: With the current overload that people have been feeling, only the strongest are going to succeed. Twitter will be fine. Google+ is probably going to rock. Facebook is probably going to fail. Skype needs to step up its game because if Google+ chat is as great as it appears to be in the demo, it's not going to last much longer. All of the blogging sites aren't a big enough deal (as far as I know) to really have an all-out battle, probably because they seem to all coexist rather nicely. I can follow all sorts of blogs via blogspot so that's nice.

So the end. That was boring. Have a great day.
