You remember Howard Rheingold from Unit 2? He wrote about his experiences with the early social network called "The WELL." He also has a series on what he calles "Infotention" about filtering our modern information overload. While the videos are now two years old, he provides some useful strategies for filtering the "fire hose" of information.
