George Siemens remarks about this particular post:
This post reads like wishful thinking from someone who has not yet been able to come to grips with the time-destroying joys of online noise and, instead of modifying his behaviour, has decided to turn vices into virtues :)Marta Strickland, on the other hand, sees the issue that ReadWrite Web raises as basically a technological challenge, and lists various tools that she thinks can help us overcome the problem. Though she doesn't discount some desirability in noise, she still wants to counter it:
The point is that there will always be a place for noise, there is no denying that. But isn't it about time that we had some music?Mads Kristensen takes a pretty level-headed approach to the whole issue:
The more I think about it, the solution to overload vs filtering is somewhere in the middle: Expose yourself to the impressions, but don’t get lost.And I tend to agree ... except that if I did so at this point in this column, I wouldn't really have much to write about.
