For instance, who is the best authority on the wireless industry today Alan Reiter. How much do you want to bet that in five years Reiter will be running a huge tradeshowhttp://weblogs.cdxpo.com/meckler/archives/001966.html Information Overload- December 10, 2003 Jonathan Delacour talks about Information Overload and his attempts to escape blog addiction.
