I think this is a really interesting question and am keen to hear what others think too.
I don’t want to miss out on news/information/discussions, but actually it's always possible for me to catch up another day or assume that important issues will be raised again. (Sometimes I've tweeted after a holiday to ask whether I've missed any big news while I've been away - and fellow cataloguers have been good at filling me in!) Managing social media time partly relates back to the personal/professional blurring that we talked about earlier today - I'm very happy to pick up on bits and pieces outside work hours, but am careful about work/life balance too - and aware that the balance is different for everyone.
I keep meaning to check out pininterest properly with more than a passing glance at links I've seen in tweets, but twitter/rss feeds for work and emails/facebook at home seem to be enough for me at the moment! Do others have a similar balance or are you using more spaces?

I think we have either entered a quieter part of the day or some messages are taking a wee while to come through (suspect both) so I thought it would be an appropriate time to ask about how you find managing your time and attention in relation to social media?
I was also wondering if there is a particular maximum number of social media spaces that you feel it's worthwhile engaging with or that you can manage interruptions from?
