Community Guy: My Tabs are out of control…

  • Matt Williams · 3 years ago
    Your tab issue is only an indicator of the bigger problem at hand: Information Overload. How does one go about finding the time to keep with all the great content? Just keeping up with the 30 or so blogs in my rss reader is time consuming enough. Then there's the 10 or so email lists; news websites, yadda yadda.


    We need a Matrix like solution: "Tank, I need an upload of the November 1 news."



    Or perhaps someone will start a Reader's Digest of the web. Give them 2 - 5 topics, they consolidate the news for you in some easy to read and access format, with links for more if needed.

    I hear ya. I started using soho notes to corral all of my stuff. Also it has a neat web archive feature that will save the web page locally very easily. http://www.chronosnet.com/Products/sohonotes.ht... me next time I see you and I'll show it to you.

    ctrl + click? naa, click using the mousewheel (firefox), there you go, even more convenient tabs for you.

    Ajoy, you sir are a bastard. Thanks so much for your "help"!

    Dave, I've downloaded soho to check out.

    Information overload is right. I feel overwhelmed not just by content but by the assortment of tools. The packrat mentality isn't a good thing while surfing. Also, it's frustrating when I realize I can't recall the great site I found a few days ago, but the lyrics to Funky Town are always accessible. I wish I could defrag the hard drive between my ears. Sometimes I wonder if eventually culture itself will need some defragging.

    Wow and I thought my 20-30 open tabs at any time were too much ;)
