If you’re like me, the Web can become overwhelming from time to time. There is so much content and data coming at you, an inbox that never seems to shrink, and the rat-a-tat-tat of social media banging away day and night.
The question is whether there’s a way to escape all this data and content? Are we consuming too much information and, if so, what are the consequences personally and professionally?
This is one of the reasons we were keen to invite Clay Johnson to speak at mesh this year. His book, The Information Diet, is about how we can develop healthier consumption habits by developing skills and discipline on what to consume and what to avoid.
The Information Diet is a must-read for anyone who consumes a lot of online information or wants to consume information a better and smarter way.
Johnson, the co-founder of Blue State Digital, which built and managed Barack Obama’s online campaign for the presidency in 2008, will be kicking off mesh on the morning of May 23. Early-bird tickets for $589 (a $100 discount) are now on sale.
