The web is such a wonderful facilitator of publishing and communication that it’s almost impossible not to be chronically overwhelmed by the amount of information available.

I’ve been working on my information diet for years, having dropped most print newspapers a few years ago, then cut out most magazines, and more recently having worked toward an effective approach for dealing with the incredible amount of information available via RSS feeds.

Even if I were to focus my interest solely on startups, Ruby on Rails, marketing, writing, or photography, there’s far more content produced every day than I can hope to (or want to) read. Striking the right balance between reading enough to stay informed and find things of interest, but not so much that it takes too much time or feels burdensome, is a real challenge.

I’ve just posted an article on my evolving feed-reading habits over on my personal blog.

What’s your strategy?
