The Real Goal - Useful Information
Submitted by Brett Hinton on May 22, 2008 - 2:00pm.
The abundance of information today is truly a blessing to all. At the same time, for many of us, the neverending supply of it makes it difficult to keep up. (When was the last time you thought or said - i just can't keep up with the ... insert RSS feeds, websites, email, etc). Web 2.0 has only increased this burden with the onslaught of content production that is occurring by anybody that has a web browser. Don't misunderstand me, I love Web 2.0 and the concept of user-created content - it just makes for more potentially great ideas and information out there.
Maybe you feel overwhelmed as I sometimes do - I love to hear the different ways in which people filter information so they don't get overwhelmed. Ultimately, for me, is that the ability of the tools to help me find and see only the content that is relevant to me has to catch up with the abundance of tools for producing that content.
