On the one hand, social media is a filter of information, that's what we say and theorize. On the other, it brings a flood of new sources to check. Even more, in a read/write web, users are not only checking new information, they are also classifying, commenting or creating new content. That's makes a lot of time. I don't think it's based on any reliable data but I love the picture below.
Another post from the same blog discuss the outcomes of a research stating that Web 1.0 information oveload causes in the US 650 billions in wasted productivity. "The findings reveal that a typical information worker checks his or her email more than 50 times per day, uses IM 77 times, and visits 40+ web sites. These numbers were calculated by tracking software installed on the machines of the 40,000 people taking part in the study."
Strategies to manage this are a recurrent subject in blogs I read but we can not find more than make your own recipe of concentration, routine and filters.
