ADD

I’m constantly surprised at how many threads the average netizen can keep open at the same time.

Between Twitter, Gtalk, Stumble Upon, Friendfeed and BETA Testing apps like Plurk and Twine the sheer quantity of data being created and consumed has me wondering just how much information you keep in context before it starts losing relevance.

How do you manage it all? Do you ever feel like ADD is a necessary evil to keep up with your digital life?
