Speaking as the author of the map, that's just an example of my particular social media information flow. Everyone will have a different one. Some notes:

- there is a branch to the right with white boxes that shows some content types that may be applicable for others that I don't use myself (e.g. music)
- the map is only version 0.3.1 so far from finished. The node to the bottom left shows some of the things I still have left to add.

I highly recommend David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology for dealing with this overload. I also have installed an application called Things (os x only) at work, and one at home, for managing my Today, Next, and Someday tasks. It's not stress free, but it does help.

Nick,
Thats why I think we enjoy things like the social media breakfast. It gives us a brief reprieve from this overload and take a minute to take a breath and converse with all the great people. Then we leave, pull out our iPhones/Blackberry's and out our heads down buried in it as we return to our overload ...
