Skimming RSS
Glen of LifeDev says “skimming is the new black”. He correctly states that skimming drops real input but then stumbles on his fix –
The solution: The Internet Diet. Cut back on your daily intake of RSS and other news sources. Force yourself to read nearly all of your news from start to finish.
He even goes as far as recommending regression to books. Books do not offer the same capabilities as RSS.
The real solution is adapting language to fit a world of hyper-connectivity, especially since this trend is showing no signs of slowing down. Instead of recommending his readers drop their input he should be encouraging them to write in a manner befitting this context. Concise, to the point language is key.
