Dealing with the amount of information available today can be daunting. But it is essential for us as professionals - especially because we deal in information. To be honest, some of us do not read enough.
Recommended RSS Feeds
I subscribe to less than a dozen RSS feeds and I'm in the process of re-evaluating my list. I'm not dealing with many listservs anymore - they seem to be dominated by consultants advertising either their expertise or their events. I still listen to the STC-single-sourcing SIG, but they're in the midst of re-inventing themselves. Here are the business RSS feeds ones I subscribe to:- www.technewsworld.com
- www.readwriteweb.com
- www.techcrunch.com
- www.tekrati.com
- webworkerdaily.com
- www.econtentmag.com
- www.informationweek.com
- www.paidcontent.org
And of course I read KeyContent.org, which also displays feeds from
- www.indeed.com
- www.boxesandarrows.com
- www.informationdesign.org
- www.steptwo.com.au/columntwo/
- www.cmswatch.com/
So indirectly, I read those too. At least I skim them.

Techniques
In other words, I mostly subscribe to magazines, not individual blogs. But I do searches on Technorati every day so I come up with news from blogs, I just don't have RSS feeds from them. There are a ton of cool blogs out there but who can read them all. There's a list of over a hundred of them on KeyContent.org.I spend the first 45 mins each day reading checking some or all of them. Then at lunch I check Google-News and Wikipedia or both for a brief view of the entire world. I know I should read more. There's a ton of stuff to read.
