Confronting the information overload
An article here in the Times on the information overload.
When your inbox is creaking under the weight of emails that you know you just have to read and answer, don’t you sometimes wish that you could stop the clock and give yourself a breather?
Mentions a new feature of Outlook 2007 - Email Prioritizer
Email Prioritizer, it has two main features. The first is like an electronic Do Not Disturb sign. It lets you choose not have any email delivered to your inbox for a specified period of time or until your current meeting ends – as long as it has been scheduled in Outlook.
But it is the second part, the Prioritizer itself, that is more interesting. This rates incoming email messages with between zero and three stars based on a series of rules that you set yourself. For example, it allows you to set how many stars emails from your boss should warrant. If you jump at their every command, you should set it to three. If you think he’s a pompous twit, you can set the priority to zero. You can also set star ratings for your team members, people who you are due to meet in the next few days, people you have emailed recently and emails where you are the only recipient.
Not sure how practical this is going to be, given that it only deals with the part of the problem- The receiver.
For the information overload to be truly resolved, you really need to understand the information and address who is sending it and how it is structured.

LinkedIn has come of age
When LinkedIn web site came out, it seemed like an another version of www.plaxo.com, a form of on line rolodex. I never bothered with it and ignored most requests from people to updated my details.
LinkedIn in has really come of age in the past 12 months, not just in technology such as integrating into Slideshare, but the user community that uses it and how they collaborate with it.
I was looking at buying a GPS system and asked this question and had 36 responses in 24 hrs. In fact a whole thread of discussion occurred with tips and techniques. It made the purchase very easy.
One of the tips someone liked with the Garmin, was the ability to change the accent of the voice on the GPS to British English.
I did this and I thought it’ll be a great business model to have accent downloads for a gps, similar to ring tone downloads….such as Yoda, Darth Vader, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Obama, etc….etc.
Of course when I did some research on the web, and someone had beaten me to the market.
