Internet & Web 2.0 Overload, Is Anyone Else Feeling It?

Thursday

It takes a lot to overload me. I constantly have 10 projects going of my own, plus consulting work, and my own blogs that I write like this one, and other blogs I write on, and I’m constantly reading/looking for new tools/resources related to my industry. Whew. And somehow I manage all of this without my head exploding.

But something has changed in the last month or so. There just seems like there’s… more now?

It feels like someone accelerated the Internet overnight? There’s just so much new stuff, so fast. And it’s not crap either. It’s powerful applications and tools and real change type things that are flying in at the speed of light, overtaking me, causing my brain to spin.

Is it just me?

Eh.. not really. What type of sites are you talking about. I more feel like things have slightly cooled over the past few months compared to where they were at the end of last year - and really cooled compared to this time last year.

Sure twitter, justin.tv, highrise, joost, and a handful of others are making more noise lately, but I haven’t felt like it’s been more than usual lately. What sites are you talking about?

I thought it was just my overloading myself, or the onset of spring - or the prospect of the kids being out of school for the summer and how difficult that will make it to get work done (although, I’m sure - we’ll have fun!) - but, perhaps, I am feeling a bit of ….’you’ve got to learn just one more thing, ok, now you’ve got to learn just one more thing, ok, now you have got to learn this thing, oh wait - this thing, this thing is the thing!’ You know?
