Thing #6: Blog Readers

Fantastic! This is a great way to easily manage and keep up with my subscribed blogs. The scrolling blue box and keeping track of what I've already read are such useful features of Google Reader. Using bookmarks in my browser was just not an efficient way to keep up.

This brings to mind the Dilbert cartoon where Dogbert says, "Information is gushing toward your brain like a firehose aimed at a teacup". Peter Morville had a slide with the cartoon in the "Ambient Findability" presentation he gave at one of the Vision Sessions at NASIG's annual conference this year.

Water, water everywhere...information, information everywhere...

"A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention."
Herbert Simon, Nobel Laureate Economist
