I’m not alone: Web noise wearies others

A while ago I posted about the Web getting increasingly annoying. Not surprisingly, in a brief post called Signal to noise, Seth does a much better job of articulating much the same thing. He also has the perfect metaphor: signal to noise.

Even if it was all good, there’s just too much stuff coming through. Making it even more difficult is the fact that it isn’t all good stuff. There’s a amazing amount of noise. Email, blogs, RSS, Facebook notifications … it goes on and on.

What’s the answer? As far as I’m aware, currently there is none. But identifying a problem is the first step in finding a solution.
