I've seen more posts written about information overload syndrome over the past few days. Scott White at Extracting Knowledge from Data has a revealing post about information overload. I completely understand what he's saying. I lost my Internet access last night and part of me was twitchy and restless because I could feel the posts
The CEO Bloggers' Club has a list of ideas for corporate RSS feeds. I think it's fantastic. Highlights: #5. "Provide specific informational categories so people can just receive what they are most interested in." #8.
