How many blogs is too many?

I regularly post to three blogs. This one, which used to be work related, is now sort of miscellaneous. I try to keep my other blog @the.coalface, which is a multi-user WordPress blog hosted at my University, focussed on my reflections on my experiments with education technology. And I am a regular contributor to the Swansea Learning Lab community blog, where I typically re-post interesting items of e-learning inspiration and that I find in my daily trawl of my RSS feeds. 


However, it seems that I could do even more. As a member of the Eduspaces and Classroom2.0 community networks, I have two more blogs available to me. As an academic I have an entry on Academia.edu and could have a blog. I microblog on Twitter. I share favourites from Google Reader, my delicious bookmarks and some of my photos on Flickr. I even have some module related blogs in Blackboard for some of the courses that I teach. So is this all too much? Am I spreading myself too thin?

I have dabbled with various ways to aggregate all these strands of my life on line. For example, I have created a Swurl page, a FriendFeed, a Tumblr blog and a Netvibes public page. I even have a Yahoo! Pipe which aggregates some (but not all) of these and generates an RSS feed!

So which is the real me? Which should you follow?

    Use Yahoo pipes and follow them all!

    Well, my years of blogging on the same blogger.com site kind of pale into insignificance after that really!
    Its always tricky deciding whether to expose the realy “you” on a blog….especially when future employers, organisations and possibly the mental health institutions (lol) could track you down.
