We still have so much to learn and the temptation to discover, explore and connect are too great to pass up. I think that over time we will "settle in" and pare down the places we play and the level of activity. @Jane, I think that in this new world, fatigue is inevitable particularly for early adopters.

I do go through my follow/friends list and remove people whose conversations I hardly or barely participate in, or if their subject matter isn't something I'm focusing on at the moment. Given my limited attention span, it's more of a time/attention management approach than "who can give me business, and when".

That is great advice! I have talked with many of the people I've met online and it definitely forges a deeper bond. Even a private talk on Skype or Gtalk has really helped to form deeper friendships.
