The problem of trying to figure out which signals you need to pay attention to has been around since people starting speculating on shares of companies under the Buttonwood Tree on Wall Street. When it comes to applying technology to the problem, financial forms have an endless pool of resources so they are a good place to look for innovation. David Leinweber, currently a professor at UC Berkeley's Hass School of Business gave an interesting talk in February 2008 which gave a great survey of the state of the how technology is being used in the financial industry: Slides: http://en.oreilly.com/money2008/public/schedule/detail/139 So this is coming from financial professionals using the web to get a jump on news in order to profit. For how this all applies to our everyday life think about the flipping the problem on it's head. Here's a post I did a while back on the topic. It's not information overload, it's filter failture: http://everwas.com/2008/09/information-overload-filter-failure.html @Bill – thanks for the comment.

It wasn't till your reply that I realized the entire text of my comment didn't fully post. So here is the rest (hope you still think it's cool) (continued from above) Ok, so I have now used up 30 minutes that I should have been working on something else. I've learned about REALLY interesting people who I'd love to know more about but there's 50 other REALLY interesting people I've heard about also and I can't get back to because there's only a certain amount of time in the day. I am Curious, most certainly to my detriment. The smartest guy I know has built a 700 million dollar company and won't come near any of this I'm told because he is a curious guy as well and he figures his time will get swept up in being curious about everything. I feel the same way. It used to be the barrier to entry in writing interesting stuff was to get in front of a publisher and have them decide to spend money to get your writing to the world. The world could look for publishers they trust and get the "feeds" from them, targeted and filtered by someone they trust. Intermediation at work. Facebook and Twitter have broken that down. Will Drudge like sites be the "answer"? Is there an answer? Should there be an Answer? Curious minds want to know before they are overwhelmed by a tsunami of really interesting stuff and wind up in the funny farm. Thanks Ian.
