How do you handle information overload?

if this is promoting bing, please get a mod in here and ban the crap out of this. ASAP

and to answer your question I read the news on google news briefly and occasionally watch cnn lol

I usually use Google reader to keep track of the news I want. Or Google news.
@patg7590 I smell Bing too and It doens’t smell nice.

Check out what I find interesting, the rest is overload. I read newspaper websites and fluther.

@patg7590 I didn’t know what Bing was till u mentioned it.

@lilgiraffe they use the phrase “search overload” in their “advertising” I guess it’s not completely the same.

@patg7590 No worries. :) Thanks for teaching me an advertising term.

I let it slide and focus on what I want to. For example, I watch almost zero TV.

For another example:
“Questions for You (7377 new)

Comments for You (0 new)

Activity for You (222 new)”

I’m with @Zaku here, I watch very little television. I find the news feeds usually full of useless garbage that doesn’t pertain to me, so I stick with googling for whatever weird topic that happens to run through my head.

It’s very simple, if you care about it then read/watch it. If you don’t care then skip it. I don’t even pretend to care about news, therefore I am never overloaded.
