Many still think that just having a website takes care of their Internet Operations. Gary,

Yes, I think you may be onto something here. If these tools can help cut down the effort, then I am all for that. Let me try one of these out and I'll let you know how it goes. I take it this will be easy, right? I'm a member now on theopensea.com (read about you in Soundings today) so I will find you there. Great site you have. Best of luck with it. Thanks for the help.

Information overload is the kiss of death with social anything and trust me, you're not alone. If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's usually a result of trying to stay on top of too many sites. Logging in, posting, responding, etc. To cure what ails you, I would recommend you focus more on step #3, leveraging your content. I would suggest looking at three solutions...Streamy, Flock, and FriendFeed. These tools allow you to post to several sites all from one place. They all do it differently, but are equally effective. When I made this move it was like the sky cleared. A true "why didn't I do this sooner" moment. Give this a whirl and let me know what you think. I bet it helps. George,

You certainly have a passion for this stuff. It comes through loud and clear. I am not a newbie to social markting, but I'm no expert either. I am really trying my best to make this whole approach a part of my daily routine as many have told me to do, but I will admitt, it is hard. I feel very overwhelmed by it all. I don't know, maybe I am a newbie and I just don't know it. Do you have any sugestions or tips for helping a middle-aged boat builder tackle his bout with informtion overload? I can find no cure for what ails me. Thanks and keep up the good work. Capt. Dorsey Gary,
