How can we cope with information overload?

From CNN:

Online content growing so fast, common problem is feeling of missing out. New services suggest filtering RSS feeds or tweets to deal with too much content.

"You could be the filter. You could read 5,000 pieces of content and find what you want. But usually you want to do some other things with your life."

Reading in small bites, on the go, can also help you conquer the information overload. With its free Internet access, Amazon Kindle can be a useful device to achieve this goal.
