RSS Productivity

RSS is the next step in making us more productive and 
move faster. It's an ideal tool for keeping people 
informed. No longer do we have to go out and get 
information, information comes to us. However, there's no 
such thing as a 'free lunch'. We loose a little control 
with this increased speed of information gathering.

Employers are going to love this. A new requirement for 
employees that will make them more efficient. When you 
get up in the morning, and on your way to work, you can 
listen to a live RSS feed of updated information.

Is there an advantage to information finding you. In a 
busy news room, yes, maybe. My motivation, however, comes 
from trying to find the information. Is rss taking the 
'wind out of our sails.' I want to be the conqueror. I 
want to be the inventor. RSS takes a little of that away. 
It takes enthusiasm and tenacity to be competitive in the 
technological age. Inventing, finding and creating on our 
own is an electric charge to motivation and productivity. 
Employers who foster this environment, I think, achieve 
greater productivity than feeding the precepts to their 
employees. We can do both, but I believe we'll have to 
reinforce the value of employees if we want to slice 
another piece out of their day with mandatory rss 
monitoring.
