When the lion feeds

Just between you and me I have spent far too much time on these two exercises so at this stage have played in 'Bloglines' and added a few 'feeds' for the purpose of the exercise as well as adding further 'feed' sites to my "favourites" with a promise to myself to explore more at a later stage. Truth be known I'm probably inclined to put more effort into avoiding information overflow than I am in pursuing an increasing amount of incoming data. I only have access to the internet in the work place: part of this is a conscious decision so that when I go home at the end of the day I know I'll take time out from the rest of the world and partly the decision is dictated by the not so speedy connections to the world wide web in our part of rural Victoria.
It's good to know how to manage, target and streamline incoming info but I haven't got a pressing need to do so at present and am happy with tapping into search when required rather than being overwhelmed by constant flow.
