I know we all reach fatigue when it comes to using cer­tain web apps / sites / etc.  but at what point do you feel guilty?

When was the last mp3 song you sub­mit­ted to last.fm?

Hav you updated all your lat­est pho­tos into Flickr?

Remem­ber­ing to digg the sto­ries you like?

Sav­ing your book­marks to del.icio.us and not locally?

Blog­ging?

Sav­ing all the movies and books you’ve con­sumed to all­con­sum­ing?

and on..

and on..

Some­times it’s a jug­gling game that is a huge pain in the ass.  Some appli­ca­tion are doing it right, like set­ting your sta­tus mes­sages across mul­ti­ple social net­works.  Because of this I can directly or indi­rectly thanks to ser­vices that inter­act with it I use twit­ter the most and the most regularly.

Though I do look at all the things I’m miss­ing to vir­tu­ally save by being pre­oc­cu­pied with some­thing else.   I can’t make a deter­min­ing fac­tor whether it’s a good thing or bad, but with my time wast­ing nor­mal self I can’t say it’s that good of a thing, if I had a real life it might be.

I’m work­ing on my guilt, but some­times I feel like the fat kid who got caught walk­ing out of the Cheese­cake Fac­tory by his friends from Weight Watchers.
