BL Ochman has been running an interesting series of interviews with "top bloggers" at her place recently, including Doc Searls, Mack Collier, and this week, me. She asked us to identify the top tools we use to keep from drowning in the "information tsunami" that is the internet, spefically: What tools do you use to manage boatloads of information every day?


BL originally produced a series of these interviews in 2006, and it's interesting to see how tools are trending and sources of information change. In 2006, some of the bloggers mentioned newspaper and magazines for source material. While I still read magazines, I rarely pick up a newspaper .... the actual paper kind .... any more. In 2006, Twitter wasn't but a twinkle in anyone's eye, but it's definitely on the radar now.
One thing with staying power: email. Although I felt a little old school mentioning my reliance on it (at least, to BL's progressive audience), email is nonetheless both ubiquitous and enduring. As Paul Chaney commented on BL's blog, "It still works."
