Information Overload

Wow, there are a lot of different personal web pages that are out there. Today I got invited by three different friends to join three different on-line services; facebook.com, reunion.com and linkedin.com. I have also been invited to myspace.com and various blogs and other personal websites. It is dizzying to realize how many are out there and you have to join many of the websites to be able to view your friends' pages. I love my friends, don't get me wrong. I like to see your pictures and hear about what you are doing. My question is where do you find the time to update all of these sites? Many of you have personal blogs and are on one or more of the sites listed above or ones like them. I barely get time to read my e-mail and update this blog. I love the information age, but I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm an old-fashioned girl, send me an e-mail and I'm happy.

Also, as an aside. My internet service quality has really declined. When we first chose to go with Alyrica, they were a small start up company and our internet connections were pretty much instantaneous. But now, 6 years later, their customer base has grown to the point where many days I can't log onto any site and the connection is lost. They are so bogged down with users. I think we are going to have to find a new internet provider who can give us faster service. I know my frustration is due to this. I have two little boys at home who want my attention, so I don't have time to waste sitting around waiting for the computer. So keep me in the loop. I'll add your sites to my favorites list and I will do my best to check in with all of you (when my computer will allow it). But, I probably won't be updating any other sites. I will just stick to this blog and my e-mails.
