Information overload is the biggest problem on the internet. Quite apart from the distraction possibilities, there is always more available than there is time to write about.

One way I try and deal with this is to leave interesting sites open in a tab for later. I suppose I could try and justify that under the 'defer'.

The problem is that my browser starts using rather a lot of memory. As you can see here Opera is using over 125MB of RAM.

This isn't a criticism of Opera, it's the same with any browser but it's a good example of a good idea that isn't.

My alternative is to use del.iciou.us an online bookmarking service. I don't have a huge contact list but it is very useful for making a note of bookmarks at work to look at when I get back home. Then again it's been a very long time since I looked through the toread tag.
