Too many?

Can you have too many social networking sites?

Can you participate in too much online content?

I guess it all depends on who you are asking and what they are using all the sites for. Personally I would say that I have a ton of online social accounts. I of course have Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Tumblr. I also have a user name for Vi.Sualize.Us, StumbleUpon and plenty of others that I can't think of at the moment. I actively participate on the ones I named. I do not think that is too many for one person. Each of these social networking sites serves a different purpose.

Facebook - I have this because almost everyone does and it is the best way to stay in contact with friends.


Twitter - I have this so that I can follow and post in 140 characters.


LinkedIn - I have this because I am told it will help me make "business connections."


Tumblr - I have this because to me it is art and not blogging.


Vi.Sualize.Us - Go look at this site and you will see why I like it....LOTS of pictures.


StumbleUpon - I have this because I love "stumbling" on sites and ideas I didn't know about.

I maintain and use each of the above for a variety of different reasons. I must confess that most of them are the first things I check when I fire up my computer in the morning....this might be a bad thing. Because of that I am contemplating giving some up for a week to see what I accomplish.

How many social networking sites do you have and what do you use them for?
