cleaning the stream

Roughly 10 years ago I was having a conversation with my boss. We were discussing how we were leaving the information age and entering in the blur age. Information came at us so fast and so often that it was all a blur. Since then social networks, twitter, rss feeds, blogs, and many other things have come into play. All of these things spit information at us faster than anything did 10 years ago. I got sucked into it all and while trying to get as many face book friends and twitter followers as I could I created my own information overload. So its time to clean my data stream and slow the flow.
