Yeah Paul: I mentioned it in one post about social media usage already, you got to focus. I guess I should write a post about that, I think Steven Snell already wrote one though.

And yes, I used the triangle strategy even before Patrick coined the term but it fits perfectly so thank you Pat for naming it!

Hey I'm glad you like the Triangle Paul. To me, at one point I had to make some decisions because I was really trying hard at too many places. Refocusing my social media presence is one of the best thing I did so far.

Thanks Tad for linking back.

I like the sense of balance you advocate. Trying to be effective across all mediums is an impossibility.

Being effective in one or two mediums is certainly easier, but as you point out, potentially shortsighted and dangerous.

I think the triangle theory you cite is the best balance of the two. It is also the most manageable. Too much social media will turn your brain to mush.
