    I hear you. I decided to go with 2 facebook accounts for that same reason - 1 for work, 1 for play. Only thing is, FB was too clever for me and suggested both my accounts as friends to everyone from both worlds ...

    BTW, did you see Kodak are advertising for a 'Chief Listener'? Good description of a Social Media specialist I thought. http://jobshouts.com/job/4694/

    It’s funny you say that David. I had a conversation with some colleagues early on about pretty much that. I attached a screenshot of my previous set of ’followings’ from Google reader and asked the question ’how do I stop this happening again?’. The screen shot (if I took it today) looked like:

    From your 854 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 565 items, starred 2 items, shared 118 items, and emailed 1 items.

    At best I skim that amount of content. I have consciously kept my Twitter contacts small for the reason that you say above. Some people who I would be interested in following are just too damn chatty. Drowns the rest of the conversation. I think that you’d need to start categorising your ’following’ list. The main Twitter website does not really help with grouping or categorisation of the people you follow, apparently however, other Twitter clients do. I have seen people using PeopleBrowsr on Mac doing that.

    One alternative that is based on another feature of social media is to actually build several identities on Twitter and use that as your grouping mechanism. BTW. I would have loved to increased the complexity of the comms model, feedback, noise etc, but it was complicated enough already ;) -- Peter

    Hi Peter, A question I had in my head from Monday night: you posted the basic linear comms model. Later models include the concept of ’noise’ getting in the way of encoding and decoding of messages. What do you think of the very pervasiveness of social networking itself as one form of noise? I.e. the fact that it is so easy to sign up to follow 200 different people on Twitter actually detracts from the effectiveness of each tweet (can’t see the trees for the forest). David.
