![How Much is Information Overload Costing Your Company? - HBR Editors’ Blog - Harvard Business Review
Do you know of — or work at — a company that understands the cost of information overload to the organization as a whole? Are you aware of any innovative approaches companies are taking to tackle this problem?
Well. For one, I understand that the Harvard Business Review is considering how they can reduce information overload on their pages by removing some of the numerous ads, self-links, blog chrome, and unnecessary cross-promotional horseshit, which includes things like a blog post that exists primarily to 1) provide something link-baity that’s related to 2) a for-pay-only article as well as 3) asking a cheesy open-ended non-question that will encourage cheeseballs and douchebags to leave comments in which they mention (and link to) their own consulty-helpy, for-pay services. So, that’s pretty cool.
Oh, hang on. Sorry. No. I apologize. I got that wrong.
The Harvard Business Review is actually doing the opposite of that. In, for example, an earnest blog post about information overload.
