RSS fatigue drives an online-expert to real life.
danah boyd stops reading RSS feeds, a way to read hundreds of your favorite blogs in much less time. Key phrases from her testimony:
- abusively addictive relationship
- 6 hours a day
- not healthy
- regaining self-control and stability
- losing one's mind
- lost touch
- one-sided perspective on people
- saw a limited segment of the world
- guilt for not engaging
- the feelings of intensity overload
- the cruel pain of being a true information junkie
One more victim of information overload, sipping with a straw from that fire hydrant of a blogosphere.
Comments:
Aren't there any tools to facilitate RSS reading? I mean visualisation of content that could somewhat make the RSS reader experience more fun?
I'm thinking about Pie-charts, or Maps'n'Drops a'la google maps. Just anything that breaks the depressive routine of scraping over lists.
