Information Overload
Posted by geetarista August 23, 2008
I like to be informed. I like knowing what is happening in the world, especially when it comes to technology. Lately I think I have been receiving just a little too much information, though. My current Google Reader subscription count is 1,141 feeds. From those 1,141 subscriptions, I have read 20,559 items in the last 30 days. I don’t know if Google planned on people having that many descriptions since I can’t even see them all on my subscriptions page:
That black space goes all the way down to the page so I cannot even see any of my subscriptions past this point. My main problem is that whenever I find something that I like on the web, I subscribe to that feed since I’m sure I’ll like whatever they post in the future. Alas, that is not always the case and I become too overwhelmed when I have so many things to read. I love information and I love to read, but this is just going too far.
