“So where is the startup that is going to be my information filter?”
Posted by Paul Christen on Mon, Apr 21, 2008 @ 11:23 AM
Right on the heels of my last post, Erick Schoenfeld of TechCrunch writes that after installing Twhirl, his information overload problem got worse, not better! He makes the case that he needs less data, not more. "There is too much to pay attention to and not enough ways to reduce the noise... what we really need are better filters."
Exactly!
Coincidentally, today Tech News World published an article that I wrote for them that discusses exactly this issue, titled "I am an information junkie, and I suffer from information overload!"
Of course, we couldn't agree more with Erick, and that's exactly what we're trying to address here at Eluma :-)
