I regularly feel overwhelmed by the social media world. I'm by nature a lots-of-alone-time person and I find reading/commenting on blogs and Twitter, MSN, Facebook, etc... totally invasive of my alone time. Alex Fayle | Someday Syndrome´s last blog post..The choice of too much

@Friar, ROFL! I bet I could name them too! Sometimes I look at night without posting just to see, and sure enough! I’m with you, I love connecting with my friends online but I also enjoy offline time. So, I guess we’re not the ones missing anything.

I’ve only been on Twitter for a few weeks. But I can pretty much see that certain people are on at all hours of the day.

6 AM. Afternoon. Supper time. Midnight. No matter what time I happen to randomly log on…the same few keeners are always there. .

My God, do these people ever LEAVE!?

When Brett comes over for our weekly beer session, and we’re relaxing and unwinding, and it’s midnight. sometimes we speculate: “I bet you so-and-so is on Twitter…right NOW”.

And they probably ARE.

I think it’s pretty sad, actually.

When I’m on my deathbed, the last thing I want to remember is that I spent “lots of quality time” in front of a computer monitor”.
