I’ve been trying to get my colleagues to acknowledge that attacking our information overload problem will improve our overall knowledge sharing collaboration efforts and also contribute to our bottom line. But some people here just don’t understand the extent of the problem.

I just read about information overload awarenesss day and I’ve signed up our company as a participant and designated site – I hope this will get my point across to my colleagues and help them understand what we can do to improve our overall position relative to information overload. For others in my position (and I’m sure there are many of you) I encourage you to do the same, Information is available at http://www.informationoverloadday.com

It’s inhuman to keep up on a good bunch of feeds. And sometimes we think that we are flooded on information, being somewhat compelled to read all that stuff to keep up, or else we think we’ll miss something important. Aside from information overload, we’re suffering from scarce information filtering, wich boosts the problem. On the latter, definitetly we need some sort of improvement, like an “Feed Digital Assistant System” (wtf?) who sorts out the items we’re more likely to enjoy and step further to the less relevant after the relevant has been read.

Bayesian it’s one way, surely. I can’t figure any other right now. Post on if you have ideas.

Cheers.
