Thing 4: Current awareness - Twitter, RSS and Pushnote

I'm trying to catch up!  These look like great tools, BUT . . . I can barely keep up with my Facebook page and I really don't want to add 3 more tools to the already overwhelming amount of information I get every day!!  I can see myself using them for specific needs in the future maybe, such as following a conference I am not able to attend.  Is it just me?  Is it just my age?  I want to keep my online presence as limited as possible to preserve what little privacy is left.
