Sorting through the thousands of daily messages and postings

[Richard]

I have always had my favorite sites to scrape daily for information, but now that I am doing CA/CA full time I have increased my sources a hundred fold. Subscriptions were jamming the e-mail box,,,I thought if only I had a twitter feed for each so I can just get the 144 characters I need, then dig in if I need. The answer: esobi. Its an RSS feed Reader. There are free ones out there, Igoogle is about as good as any, but I wanted the ability to alert, store, and wanted massive amounts,,, and have them avaialbe offline when I travel.. Seems to be working well. Drawback: YOu need an RSS or XML feed to use. What do you all use?

I primarily use Google Reader. The ability to "star" items gives me a way to save things, the "share" function gives me an option to disseminate, comment and collaborate and since it lives in the cloud its available from any computer with a web browser connected to the Internet.

You can see my Google Reader shared items here:http://www.google.com/reader/shared/18230250784751375255

At the SLA 2009 conference I delivered this presentation on using RSS to tame information flows from large numbers of sources:
