Web 2.0 - I'm drowning

How do people stay on top of all of the emerging technologies??? I've spent over 4 hours in front of the computer today and I've only barely scratched the surface. 

I'm trying to understand how Twitter might by useful.  I'm msmolly27 on Twitter if you are interested in joining me there. I've been on Twitter for a couple of months, but I'm still not sure how it will be professionally useful.  The people I follow do post some good links, but I also read many of their blogs where they also share that information. Do I need to follow them on Twitter, too?

I've heard a lot about the potential value of Second Life to educators, so I joined that today. I am Martha227 Bookmite in Second Life, but so far I can only run across water. :-) If you can find me there and help this poor lost soul, it would be appreciated. I tried to teleport to Kathy Schrock's community, but didn't get there.  I don't know if it's my computer (a mac) or what.

At any rate, my teenagers are getting really annoyed by the amount of time I've spent on the computer today.  I would be giving them grief for spending four consecutive hours here, yet, I feel I have so much more to do. How do people like Will Richardson and Kathy Schrock manage to have regular lives while staying on top of technology?
