Social Media can be addictive. How much time do you spend reading tweets, stalking friends and foes on Facebook, reading ideas in feed readers and on blogs, or, possibly the most insidious activity of all, endlessly jumping from video to video on YouTube?!

Are you also a fan of GTD (getting things done)? Possibly the most seductive management methodology sweeping the world today, GTD can liberate you from the endless loops that busy our brain with tasks and ideas we can do nothing about in the moment.

Social media (SM) is never-ending and, by its nature, a set of tasks that can never be completed. There is no end to the content created by users online and the consumption of this information will continue to be a source of problems and innovation for the foreseeable future. How can we integrate SM into our GTD process? Do we simply put a cap on the time we spend interacting with SM? How much is enough to maintain your brand, reputation, or contact with friends and family?

How do contexts (where you are at a given moment - @work, for example) effect our SM intake? Do you read Twitter on your iPhone or other mobile device? Do you use Yammer while at work? How do you measure what tasks you've completed if SM is part of your profession? When does SM get in the way of GTD?

This is a conversation. I want to hear your ideas and thoughts. Be brave. Comment!
