I’ve noticed recently that I simply cannot keep up with all the e-mail I receive, both here and on Mashable where I’m the features editor. I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to all of you who wrote to me and I didn’t reply, but unfortunately my e-mail overload is getting bigger and bigger and I doubt this situation will get better.

I have, however, become a lot more active on social sites like Twitter and Pownce. Since I’m blogging when the USA is asleep, I’m quite a lonely blogger, and it feels good to have this stream of info from other bloggers, readers, developers, designers and tech aficionados. Furthermore, if you send me something over these networks, I’m actually more likely to notice than if you send me an e-mail - especially since Gmail’s spam filters have become somewhat less effective. Therefore, I’d like to call everyone to join me on various social networks I’m actively using. Here’s the list:

Twitter: twitter.com/franticnews
Pownce: pownce.com/frantic
LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/stanschroeder
FriendFeed: friendfeed.com/frantic
Digg: digg.com/users/frant1c
Mixx: www.mixx.com/users/frantic
Last.FM: www.last.fm/user/mahniti/

I look forward to meeting you!
