Okay, I'm all for getting my name out there, brand recognition and all that, but seriously...
I actually heard on the radio news the other day that a man went jogging and ended up in the hospital with a fairly serious concussion - because he was "Twittering" from his cell phone while he ran, and ran his own forehead into a low-hanging tree branch.
Come on, now... There are perks to being connected, but aren't we getting a little excessive?
It made me think of Wall-E, when the two guys were talking to each other over the computer screen, while they were within two feet of each other.
Is human physical contact in danger of completely disappearing, all while we are tied so tightly together with this silken thread we call networking that we can't get away for even 15 minutes to go jogging?
Heaven help us all.

I hear ya, man. I barely manage email, let alone Facebook or any of those other things.
