Synergise IT

I am in a love-hate situation now. I love my RSS reader because it delivers news, blogs and rss updates from work. Its great! But every hour, I get hundreds of notifications. I read selectively. However, its just too much.

Alrite, if I sign up to a RSS feeds from say, NY Times World news, I am bound to get quite alot of updates because somehow people are constantly interested in people killing each other. However, for my work related RSS feeds, I get a whole lot of unrelated feeds too. However, within the work related feeds, there are a few feed updates that I need to action on. At the moment, I am pretty flat out at work and I still have to go through the feeds to get my action items - that was a pain in the butt.

I then thought wouldn’t it be good to have intelligent feeds? The RSS feeds can organise and tell you which feeds are more important than the rest from analysing the content/tags, where it came from, time line associated with it (work related and if available), who wrote it and rank all of them.

With Enterprise 2.0, more and more people are working across boundaries, teams and projects and currently there is no good way to sort out the feeds / information / emails that comes from all these various places. I am truely suffering from information overload.
