Social software - blessing or curse?

I can see why people find social software attractive, at least at first glance. What I've found is that it's just too much work! I could literally spend hours cataloguing and tagging things, but then it all becomes about the tagging, not what I really enjoy. It's easy to get caught up in things like blogs, RSS feeds etc. but who has the time? The more stuff I add, the less I look forward to dealing with it. Email is bad enough, I already feel guilty not replying instantly to the many emails I get, now I feel guilty because, gosh darn it, I didn't listen to this weeks Quirks and Quarks podcast! I've just gotta fit that in, right after I read my Dad's blog (he's off traveling) and update my own. All those Christmas pictures? I still haven't uploaded my summer vacation photos! Gaaaaaa!!! Speaking of which, I tried out Flickr, and if I wasn't already using online photo software I'd probably use it but, BUT, I already use Google photos (including the free program Picassa which I find to be truly excellent). That way, I just log into my Gmail account, and there it is. Easy to share, easy to download to my desktop, just... easy. Whew! Now if I can just find the time to get my photos up there ;-)
