There's just too much stuff on the Internet for early adopters. Interesting summary of all the major battles, who's winning, and what's needed. - Stanton Champion

I couldn't agree more that we are in an avalanche of APIs and aggregation. I also see the growing pains as different apps vie for Twitter's updates; today I got my first 400 error from Twitter (exceeding the 70 authenticated requests per hour) which tribal knowledge suggests may be due to other services accessing my account with the API. - RandaL Hicks

From post: "I have seen this vividly in my own life. I used to read three newspapers a day. I also never missed the local 11 o'clock news every night. I excelled at current events quizzes in school. No more. Since I started living in my feed reader, I became blissfully ignorant about the world, facing an ever-pressing need to stay current in my domain of expertise." - Hutch Carpenter

Speaking as a Renaissance Man: We have to adapt. Actively seek different inputs and interests, rather than assuming they'll just show up on the nightly news or whatever. - Brent Newhall

Excellent post, Steve, and proof that you're more of a polymath than you think. ; ) With all due respect though, seems to me the solution is to stop living in your feed reader. Force yourself to leave the computer at the end of every day and watch the nightly news. Turn off Twitter and crawl in bed with Newsweek or a good book. Subscribe to the NY Times on the weekend - and actually read parts of it. I've noticed I miss out on a lot of online conversations that happen at 9pm on a Sunday but I am more than okay with that. - Carla Thompson

I read all the same stuff on my feed reader and still consider myself a Renaissance man, - Francine Hardaway

Newspapers and TV exist in virtual reality. I haven't subscribed to a paper in years, and yet I read more global news now than ever in my life. I don't think paper is required for "renaissance", I think that Renaisance has just morphed - Michael VanDervort
