The straw which broke the camels back!

I woke up this morning full of the joys of spring, the sun is out, the sky is blue, the birds are tweeting ... no I mean literally tweeting ... straight out of my PC with the aid of tweetdeck!  Tweetdeck, surely the best invention to help us social media types keep up to date with all that’s going on in the world? However ... is it me or is it starting to have that ‘blackberry buzz’ effect? You know what I mean ... no longer a blackberry owner (thank god) but when I did have one the buzz seemed to echo around the whole house every time I got an email or missed call... and no matter how hard I tried I could never manage to ignore it ... you know sitting down to tea ...buzzzzz ... going to bed ...buzzzzz ... playing with the kids ...buzzzzz ... and there is something about that buzz that makes you immediately jump up as if it’s a life or death situation and frantically follow the sound of the buzz until you find it in the depths of your handbag (if you’re a girl that is!) and after all that you effort and frowns from family members it turns out to be some spam mail ... yes that was certainly one device I was glad to see the back of!

So is the new generation of concentration attacking communication devices ...Tweetdeck? Is this application the application which will break the camel’s back or is it the best timesaving thing ever ...  Even as I’m writing this, tweets are popping up all the time in the corner of my screen and I’m starting to feel that if I don’t read every one then I’m bound to miss some amazing piece of information which will have a life changing impact on my business and life!  Is this app a hindrance then ... something else to break your concentration or is it one to be embraced and praised... I really can’t decide!  One thing is for sure ... I think I had better go as I have just missed about 20 updates which really does make me feel rather nervous!
