It’s been insane. I have the newsreader set to refresh every half an hour, and it includes a couple RSS feeds of searches from digg and del.icio.us, as well as blogs on all of the above mentioned subjects. Within the results returned from those blogs, I often find new and exciting blogs that I add to the feed list. By the time I’ve finished reading all of the stories of interest, there are 50 new stories downloaded and ready to read. While I’m reading I pop open related links in Firefox tabs and when I finish a batch of stories, I jump over to Firefox and read and download some more. It goes on for hours. So I had to make some changes. As far as information overload goes, it just takes some intelligent choices to get the information that matters from the blogs that are the original source of the information. I can flip through most of the digg and delicious links with the spacebar in 30 seconds, and I delete blogs that repost links and do nothing but link to the blogs that I already read. The blogs that really matter to me only post about once a day. [...]

It acts as a miniature side blog because I'm constantly linking to stuff. If I add any text to the notes field when I bookmark something on delicious that text appears in the screentip. I use Bloglines for rss (ugly but works), to which I just added your feed. I came here looking for plugins and poked around a bit. Glad I did. Good stuff.

I've been struggling with the same thing for so long I'm practically certifiable! It's good to know I'm not alone. Which way to the support group?
