One of the problems for me when I was working at Netscape was information overload. Netscape was all about breaking news and staying on top of the breaking news, and since I was the editorial director there for so long, I woke up each morning, checked the news, checked to see if top stories were being pinned to the homepage Netscape Anchors recommend section, and then I continued checking throughout the day, whether I was on shift or not.

I feel a certain freedom from the news now that I’m not working on Netscape, and it is nice. I actually have the time to read my RSS feeds again, a habit which had once been a daily discipline, but which had fallen under the weight of all the social news information.

It’s nice to be able to take the time again to read about things that aren’t in the mainstream and to really dive into a crevice of knowledge.
